Kernel and Speakup Question

[ace]

Also, I used to have some issues where the fan would get extremely 
loud but, ever since we flashed my BIOS with an update, this has not

because I believe it was over heated; however, as I said, ever since 
the flash update, this problem has disappeared.  Or, any noticeable 
traces of it have.
