either the fan is controlled by the bios or you can control it by i2c. If it's controlled by bios and its louder using linux, then your bios is simply broken (windows bios). In such case it helps to modify the "dsdt" but thats quite hard. If the sensor-chipset provides funtions to control the fan, then the fancontrol is your friend. In openSUSE it's part of the sensors package, I don't know if this is the same for SLED 10.
