Actually there is nothing in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/. So it seems for me, 
that there is no driver which handles the temperature and the fan of the 
Acer Aspire One yet. A search on google didn't disprove it. That's why I 
started to write my own kernel module. But I tested it only with 2.6.28.4. 
Maybe there's already something in 2.6.29, not sure about it.

Those patches have been applied to 2.6.28.

I will try the acpi.power_nocheck option, but google results on that don't 
sound very promising.
