On the Thinkpad, try using the "ibm_acpi" kernel module instead. It
should be included in the 9.3 kernel already. Check

Depends on how busy the system is, but the fan is usually equally quiet
for me on both OSes. You may want to check
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_fan_noise if that applies to you?
