I installed mainline kernel - linux-image-2.6.27-02062718-generic_2.6.27-02062718_i386
onto Dell Latitude D620. Powered laptop off for a couple of hours.

Booted laptop using mainline kernel linux-image-2.6.27-02062718-generic_2.6.27-02062718_i386

loaded i8k module
fired up gkrellm configured to turn on fans all the time

initiated: stress --cpu 8 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 128M

In less than 10 minutes temps had jumped to from 42 to 82 celsius

So mainline kernel causes the same problem on this laptop
