If thinkpad-acpi didn't even load, the fan should be working in automatic mode, shouldn't it? Does your laptop require more aggressive fan cooling (likely because it needs cleaning and thermal interface repair)? Does it refuse to start the fan without thinkpad-acpi? > I tried to search with the issue and similar thing had happened people > back in 2010.

Save your kernel .config somewhere, do a "make mrproper", copy the old .config back, "make oldconfig", and then try rebuilding. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
