Description of problem: When booting my Fedora 8 with the latest updated kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 one of my fan's is running at maximum speed when X (gdm) is starting up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 How reproducible: This problem is reproducible every time I start my PC. Additional info: My hardware components may be found in the SMOLT database: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show_all?UUID=c8dbb9d3-a9bd-4ba6-b92e-4a294ba5a95f and attached you can find a sos-report file generated when running the kernel before: 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 where my fan speeds are OK.

I remove the Security keyword, as I do not believe this has security implications.
I wonder if 426699 and 426771 might be duplicates of 407751

It is after system boot, when X or gdm has started and it keeps running until shutdown.
Does disabling the hwmon drivers make any difference?
Hmm, you have W83627DHG monitoring chip, can you please try the 2.6.23.14-107 kernel update?
1. Update to kernel 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 --> no change 2. Test disabling hwmon, hwmon_vid, coretemp and W83627DHG drivers --> no change Attaching new dmesg output from 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 kernel.

Is there a way to get to know what fan is running on maximum speed (/proc?) or a way to set the speed by a command?
The fan running at maximum speed is the fan from the nvidia 8800GTS board. This is not a kernel bug!! The error is related to the nvidia driver, which has been installed during kernel update. Sorry guys. There is a bug report in the livna bugzilla about this error: http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772
