Comment 14 for bug 361123

Thanks for the response. I just came home to my cold laptop. I booted Windows XP SP 3 and ran a prime number calculating application against each cpu core. They ran to 100%, 2.5GHz each, and the temperature averaged right around 90C. I could feel the fan spinning up and pumping heat out of the laptop.

I shut the laptop down and booted the kernel referenced in my first post. I ran the stress app mentioned above, without the io argument.

Both CPUs immediately hit 100% and 2.5GHz, the temperature *immediately* went to over 100C -

This is a fairly new laptop, the fan is clean.

I can't believe I'm the only one still having this issue, or that it has been fixed... I HATE saying "it works in Windows" - but sadly, it does.
