If this can help, I think I nailed down the fan issuse with the therm_adt746x module missing its configuration files: I had a look at a Debiian squeeze that handles the therm_adt746x fan control using a bunch of files in /sys/devices/temperatures/. I couldn't find any similar configuration files in my karmic setup. I'm under the impression that power management in Ubuntu karmic is under control of lm-sensors, which relays on the i2c module that on turn is incapable of handling the sensors of the PB. Apparently the therm_adt746x module does read the temperature info from the sensors (the computertemp, a gnome applet that uses the therm_adt746x module to display the CUP and GPU temperature gives the correct readings), but loading without the correct setup always runs the fan full speed.
