Hmmm. Just installed it. Booted my machine with crossed fingers and
hoped for the best. _But_ after two minutes the fan started turning
again and does not stop anymore (temperature in idle is now about
34C). The only thing which changed is that 'acceleration noise' (when
you know it, you know what I'm talking about :-( which occured every
5s. Now its every 30s...
When will they finally solve the problem??? I'm really annoyed...

BTW mine is a T41 (2373-4FG). Does anyone has different experiences
with this update?

Thanx and bye,
	Frederik!
