Ohh, at installation process.
The machine probably needs processor, thermal and fan module to be loaded to 
control your fans which will be loaded after the right package is installed -> 
too late.

I wonder why you could install SL 9.1 as we started to load these modules very 
early with 9.3/10.0.

Maybe it's even a more general ACPI regression that prevents your fan controlled 
  properly? Is there time enough to catch dmesg output?
