I have inited the hw sensors in LinuxBIOS for s2881. So you could use lmsensor to check the FAN speed. The config file is on Tyan web.
For the Fan control, there should more some reg setting...to reduce the FAN speed winbond and adm1027...
I can shut the machine down, do a cold boot into LinuxBIOS, and it still works.
Until I unplug the power to the machine, that is.
After that, I can still read out everything (see attached set_fan_speed_bad.txt) correctly, but now also _set_ the fan speed.
I'm sorry this is confusing. After unplugging and replugging the power to the machine, I need to boot the proprietary BIOS once to be able to set the fan speed on any consecutive (cold) boot.
