(However, your fan being so loud is actually a good sign.) The
*passive* trip point is particularly crucial in this context.
Whoops, I managed to make two major mistakes in two short sentences:
1. The OT makes no mention of loud fans.
2. The *

Is lm-sensors installed? cpufreqd? powernow_k8 kernel module?

This issue has been addressed in bug #566184. I did not understand the
cause of the problem but it seems to have been fixed and packages are
waiting to enter Squeeze.

Has such an occurrence ever been documented?
If you send me your laptop, I'll be glad to document it for you ;)
Seriously, I've messed around with trip points a bit, but never went as
far as to let my laptop actually take fire (for obvious r

You would think so wouldn't you? However, I believe it's all done in
software via System Management Mode.
Yep. In GNU/Linux, this pretty much boils down to the thermal kernel
module. I believe if you have a borked thermal module, or you don't

I don't think this should be a threat to your laptop, the sensors
only read

Well, II

Hi there,
On a recent install of Squeeze I get a message that "setting sensor limits"
fails. I am wondering whether this can be a threat to the hardware and if
there are any workarounds for this issue. I am running the amd64 2.6.32
kernel from testing on my HP Pavilion dv5 lapto
