CPU overheats during high usage

[Rolando Blanco]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24

Hi, well I did upgrade to 2.6.24-18-generic, since it I can't run Inkscape, I can't compile, or run a game with GL, in fact, I can use a Screensaver with GL or for a long time (1 min) the Compiz effect like the Cube.

If I do something of that, then the CPU goes overheats. When the temperature of 80C is reached the laptop is shutdown and some times when having the cpu scaled to 100%, my laptop will halt due to reaching cpu temperature limit.

This is the Info of my Machine:

Lenovo IBM ThinkPad T43

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

The Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . It contains the 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test and verify if this is still an issue. The status is being set to Incomplete until we receive further feedback. Thanks.
