Yes, I can "sort of" confirm it, too, with kernel 2.6.17-10-generic.

The system wouldn't boot (it *might* have been the first time I was running 2.6.17-10 after the auto-update, I am not really sure...), and it tried to shutdown saying temperature was 121C.

I tried booting with a Kubuntu Dapper CD, and the same thing happened.
I fiddled a litte with the BIOS "Health" settings, to no avail. Then I fiddled some more, and it came back to life.

Specifically, what I did in the BIOS was raise the CPU-shutdown temperature from (I think...) 65C to 67C, and the CPU-warning temperature from 60C to 65C; also, I disabled the "Shutdown on fan failure" option.

Somehow, though, I feel that what I did in the BIOS is not related, but then who am I to know... I will see if I can reproduce this again by playing with the BIOS.
