I have an Acer Travelmate 3000, here I see the same problem.

It was running Karmic fine, but with Lucid it starts to get hot so that
it already smells.

watch output:

Every 2,0s: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
Thu Apr  8 15:38:38 2010

temperature:             78 C

But within 2s it goes down to 55 C so this might be the cause the fan does not 
kick in.
I dualboot Win7, this is still running cold and fine so I can rule out hardware 
problems.
