Thanks for contacting us!
That could be caused by two modules, either thinkpad_acpi or fan.
First, build a kernel with both modules not built at all and install
the kernel. The fan should work just fine as both fan and thinkpad_acpi
are not loaded. Then, build the battery and thinkpad_acpi modules and
load one by one, and see which one causes the issue and report back.
Thanks,
Ognjen
