Can you check
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal/*/*
to see whether the system really overheats.
I suspect the problem is temperature-related because the system runs much longer before failure if I hang the machine off the edge of a table so that the air intake is clear of the table. The temperature check is not conclusive because the last temperature I've seen before failure when checking every few seconds is 95C. For comparison: # cat trip_points critical (S5): 100 C passive: 97 C: tc1=4 tc2=3 tsp=40 devices=CPU0 As I ponder this issue further I have some new hypotheses: - Linux has never managed temperature properly on this machine, although in the past it took a kernel rebuild without using the hanging-machine-off-the-edge trick to trigger a thermal shutdown. - This lack of temperature management only now is becoming an issue due to the issue of the new kernel causing systems to run hotter than before, that I've seen reported elsewhere. I'll create new tickets for the remaining issues. -- 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.
