I recently upgraded my Thinkpad T500 from Linux 2.6.31 to Linux 2.6.32-rc (first -rc7 but I've also tried with -rc6 and -rc8) and when putting load on it, e.g. by building a kernel tree. It shuts down soon with the Critical temperature reached (%ld C), shutting down.\n" printk from drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c, where the temperature is usually 100C or slightly above. The system is a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 with a Intel Core 2 Dueo T9600 running a 32 bit kernel. I've done some attempts at bisecting it, but for most of the 2.6.32-rc series the system crashes during boot in ACPI code with a backtrace longer than the screen can display. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
