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?
