I've upgraded to Intrepid and the issue seems largely resolved. The machine still tends to run hot, but not excessively so. More important, the power regulation now works properly so that the system slows down in an orderly manner whenever the temperature rises too high. I've tried to stress it quite severly and while the whole machine slows down to a crawl it never locks up or freezes.
As far as I am concerned this bug is resolved. And a big thank you to whomever managed to resolve these issues for Intrepid. -- Hardy kernel causes overheating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
