There has been a bug introduced in a 2.6.25.X stable kernel which caused X60 ThinkPads to overheat. It is fixed now. This could be what you see here, it might not be pae related. I close this one for now. Please reopen if you see the problem with any latest kernel (also pae).
In a way I was hoping you were right. Having tickets open for 5 issues that all have the same workaround is monotonous. (The same goes for 3 additional issues for which I have not bothered to open tickets.) Alas, the confirming test fits the pattern. Here is the update: For the record, I am able to reproduce this issue using the following kernels: kernel-pae-2.6.25.5-1.1 kernel-pae-2.6.25.9-0.2 kernel-pae-2.6.25.11-0.1 I am unable to reproduce this issue using the following kernels: kernel-default-2.6.25.11-0.1 kernel-default-2.6.27-rc3.HEAD_20080819185209 Presumably if this issue were related to the X60 bug you mentioned, testing with kernel-pae-2.6.25.11-0.1 vs. kernel-default-2.6.25.11-0.1 would yield the same results, regardless of whether or not the patch had been applied as of 2.6.25.11-0.1. Therefore my pae theory remains supported by all available data. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
