This means that something else has turned your fans on, and we haven't 
turned them off.  Make sure you have the commit I made last night to the 
acpi_powerres code, and then see if that turns them off.

If it doesn't, that's a great place to start looking, because here the 
code still doesn't turn my fans *on*; I'm afraid the problem is with 
comms with the EC, and your i5000 is very similar.  You want to read the 
ACPI spec sections on thermal management, power resources and the 
embedded controller, and acpi_thermal.c, acpi_powerres.c and acpi_ec.c.

That should keep you busy for a bit. 8)

Thanks!
