That's interesting b/c the first time I installed Gentoo on a 1.3 Ghz
P4 I didn't see any such messages, but recently (after goofing up my
install...I won't say how) when reinstalling Gentoo I got similar
messages...
I figured that my fan must have died or something (my box is about 3
or 4 years old), so I opened it up to take a look, and I found that
there was a lot of dust in my case, and I suspect that when doing
large compiles that it was simply getting too hot...

I've since cleaned it out and I have not seen anymore messages...

Being that your laptop is so new it (hopefully) wouldn't have that
sort of problem, but that's my 2 cents...
