I'm withdrawing this one. At boot, it wasn't controlling the fans, but
after a suspend-resume it started up fine. My subsequent boots have
also been okay, so I'm at a loss to explain what I saw.

Regardless, given that it's hard to reproduce, I have no evidence that
it's a regression, it could just be something that's really rare.

Thanks,

Ray

Such things sometimes happen on nx6325 too.  Apparently, after a reboot
the BIOS (or rather the platform firmware) sometimes gets confused and behaves
like this.

Okay, so I'm not crazy; good to know :-). It's not a big deal as
suspend to ram and back will clear it out.

Thanks for the insight,
