This might just be a BIOS bug, but I wanted to put this out into the community in case anyone sees this as well. I noticed while installing 2005.1 that my fan was't on, and the machine was starting to heat up. I loaded thermal.ko and that turned the fan on. I'm not sure why the BIOS didn't do this automatically, but it might be a "Good Idea[TM]" to add this to the Gentoo Handbook just in case. The last thing people want is toasty CPUs.

File a bug at bugs.gentoo.org and choose documentation. You cannot be sure to address a developer here in the forums, but at bugzilla.
