Thermal Crashes in 10.04 LTS - both 32 and 64

[dhlii]

This problem did not exist for my system under Karmic. Upgrading to Lucid resulted in an unstable system I finally tracked it down to CPU thermal shutdowns. After playing with most every fan, and CPU scaling application I was eventually able to get stable operation. I thought the fix was the cpufreq package. Just recently due to other issues I had to do a clean install onto this machine. This time I used the 64bit install as I have upgraded my system to use a core2duo processor rather than the original coreduo. Immediately after the new install the thermal crashes started again. I installed cpufreq and that did not correct the problem I then installed thinkfan and that appears to have fixed this.

The system is a HP Pavillion DV8333cl.

Regardless, the base install is not properly setting up frequency scaling and thermal support.
