I'll try not to make this a me-too post, but my Clevo M121W has exhibited this fault from Breezy to Gutsy. Some kernel upgrades solve it, but most of the time, I recompile the kernel without the THERMAL acpi module. This, I assume, leaves the thermal protection up the BIOS.
Here is a forum post I started a long time ago: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88432 Here is an Open Question I've started asking about recent Gutsy kernel ACPI changes, as the bug went when I installed Gutsy and came back when the latest kernel upgrade came around: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/13735 If anyone could flesh this out more, the three of us at least would be grateful! -- acpi misreports temperature, shuts down laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
