What laptop do you have, ibook, powerbook? Precise model can be found in the machine field of /proc/cpuinfo. Can you trace the temperatures with another kernel not showing the problem and this one, see if it's the CPU hotter or the fan kicking in sooner ? Use that for example: while true; do cat /sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_temperature; sleep 1; done; you can also cat /sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_fan_speed to see the fan speed -- Colin
