There's nothing in the changelog that indicates any changes when it comes to fans, at least as far as I can tell. You should be able to just grab the older package from snapshot.debian.net and manually install (downgrade) it. http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64/ > I can live with "It's a coincidence."

Yes, trying earlier kernels is probably a good idea, and possibly other parts that might have changed, libsensor, lm-sensor? Or what it is that fancontrol uses. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
