    Update:

    Went thru the sensors-detect, detected coretemp, added several modules to /etc/modules,

    Loading kernel module lp.
Loading kernel module ppdev.
Loading kernel module parport_pc.
Loading kernel module pkcs8_key_parser.
Loading kernel module coretemp.

    Then ran
    /etc/init.d/kmod start

    And fan started.

    lsmod shows that the coretemp, lp, ppdev, parport_pc and pkcs8_key_parser are all loaded.

    After fan started, core temp dropped into the 40s (degree C). Increased to 50s after I started VLC and PAVU and started playing music.

    (I wonder if it is possible that the BIOS stopped controlling temperature and fan because of a kernel upgrade, rather than because of a hardware (loose cable or dirt or fan old age issue?)

    Supposedly, if the proper modules are in /etc/modules (actually /etc/modules-load.d), they will be loaded automatically at each boot. However, looking at /etc/modules-load.d, these modules are not present in that directory.

    So, I will either have to manually load these modules and use the start kmod command or figure out how one makes it start automatically at each boot.

    ADDENDUM. Found the advice to run update initramfs -u and then on restart, the modules should have been added to /etc/modules-load.d.

    I will see tomorrow…
