In my original bugreport, I did include most of this, although I did not mention that I've got NVidia graphics.
In my case the problem started with Jaunty, is bad with 2.6.27-14-generic, and got intolerable in 2.6.28 (as in burnK7 manages to make the machine reboot in less than 60 seconds). I've documented that with script that logged all kind of potentially relevant stuff, but nobody even got interested in that. My current work around is to stick with 2.6.27, although it's impossible to get more than 1.6GHz, and very hard to persuade the box to speed up from 800MHz. It's highly unfunny, the Atom netbook of my wife feels snappier. I'm also wondering if there is a way to make the fan to spin up manually, but my /proc/acpi/fan directory is empty, loading fan.ko does not change that, nor does it produce any dmesg output.
