The fan is working now, the sysctl's looks like this:

Fan On:

Is the _PSV trip point set wrong?, after reading the man page for 
acpi_thermal it sounds like it is to me. and when I try to put it into 
suspend more I get: "acpi: sespend request ignored (not ready yet)" is 
there something I need to do first or is this another issue with acpi?

Thanks Nate.

P.S. When you tried the file 
Compaq-Armada_1750-686EM_99.1130_A-custom.asl.gz was it corrupted?, said 
it was a bzip2 file after I gunzip it and bzip2 said it was corrupted, I 
email the guy requesting a new copy of this asl.
