Fan spinning forever

Hi,
I'm using 2.6.18.6 on debian testing and I'm having issues with the cpu fan.
First of all on boot I run a script which contains:
echo 30 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency
otherwise no polling interval is set. When the acpi modules are loaded, the
fan stops which shouldn't be a problem after a boot because the processor
isn't that hot. The problem is that the fan doesn't start even if the
processor heats up, although if I run "cat
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/state" I get that the fan is activated but it's
not. Actually I can prevent the overheating of the processor by doing this:
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state
echo 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state
and the fan starts spinning but then it never stops. Any suggestions welcome
on how can I make the fan work properly.
P.S. How could I make human readable the acpidump output, maybe I can get
some information from that.
