i'd assumne it's an acpi problem with laptops at the fault of fedora..
look at the install boot options might give some clue?

Hello one and all, hope we are all well?
Well.. I've had an interesting evening trying to install the new Fedora
(zod) onto my laptop..
It was the normal 32-bit version (64-bit is still downloading at this
point in time). Now, my laptop is a 64-bit machine, but I've never had any
trouble installing a 32-bit ver before (I mean, I quickly installed SuSE
onto it, which informed me that it was going to install a 32-bit OS onto a
64-bit system, but still worked perfectly well)..
Ok, get to the point I hear you type.. Well.. The install fires up
perfectly (both text and graphical), but for some reason the installer
somehow disables the fan, which in-turn shuts down as it gets a bit hot
under the collar..
Well.. To answer your question that "has you fan just packed up", the
answer is no, as when I installed SuSE the fan kicked in, turning on and
off happily.
Just wondered really if anyone has come across this before?
Dave
