problems installing smc firmware update 1.1 - Version: 1.1, 12/23/2006 12:57PM PST

I am running OS X 10.4.8 on a new macbook, but when i try to restart my computer during the update process the start up screen that should show the installation status bar is visible for a brief second, the computer reboots normally and the update window informs me that the installation was unsuccessful. no mater how many times i try to restart and complete the installation - the same thing happens. now my fan is stuck on high gear. Any thoughts on trouble shooting the installation/update process?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Can not instal up-date Firmware - Version: 1.1, 10/28/2006 10:19PM PST
John Samson
When I try to install this Firmware (I've also tried the other MacBook Pro - early 2006 - version) I get the message "This computer doesn't need this up-date"
Any one have an idea why this is happening to me?
PS: might be the fact I've deleted the older update file from Application / Utilities folder after installing?
In this case, should I go for the reestoring factory Firmware process, envolving the disk image CD burn?
Thanks a lot!

Hot and softly mooing, or cool and more loudly whirring: pick one

This update seems to reduce the point at which the fans kick in, and increases the hysteresis. i.e. I've found the fans come on earlier, faster and stay longer. Which is fine, I guess - my Macbook's still mostly silent (when idle) but makes more of a racket now than previously when busy.
I was a bit worried when first logging in (and as I started writing this), the fans were quite loud (much louder than I've heard before even with both cores pegged); they've now quietened down so that I can't hear them in a quiet office.

was 65c-75c, after upgrade drop to 52c-60c. now it hardly go over 65c as fan start to speed up when hit 60c, before it only start speed up when hit 76c above. Great update note to be missed.
hope next update will have manual fan control.

Definitely fixed the "mooing" problem and runs cooler. The fan does come on more but not very loud. Great update!

Fan is a Lot Louder - Version: Update, 8/17/2006 03:31PM PST

I have previously posted my Macbook (Serial 4H621) result on Intelmactemp.com
http://www.intelmactemp.com/profile/292
The mooing noise was on between 65-67 oC previously -- low pitch fan noise on and off at that level. And my fan only started at full speed (LOUD) around 72-78 oC -- that only happened when I did compilation of a build.
Now yes the temperature reading on CoreDuoTemp is about 8oC lower, and the low pitch mooing noise disappear, BUT now the Fan was turned on much LOUDER at much lower temperature at the same CPU workload as before.
Now even when *each* of the dual core CPU is about 80% idle, at temperature between 55-60oC, the fan is at medium to FULL speed (VERY LOUD).
I suspect this firmware update made most macbook better, but in my batch, the fan is now much LOUDER at normal circumstances.
