With applesmc my mbp5.1 is stable but stil a lot hotter than in OSX. I
am not sure if this needs a new bugreport...

By the way cpufreq-info shows this:

analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1
  hardware limits: 1.60 GHz - 2.53 GHz
  available frequency steps: 2.53 GHz, 2.39 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 1.60 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand, conservative, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 2.53 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1.60 GHz.

  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1

I think the CPU should be able to go as down as 800MHz, but I am unable
to confirm this from OSX.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic

Testing Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 64-Bit on a MacBook Pro rev. 3. Installing today's updates, the MacBook gets extremely hot and automatically goes into standby. This looks like an emergency standby caused by the EFI or something because it got overheated. Unless you put a metal plate or something under it, the fan runs on highest level at full power, which is not the usual.

Is there a tool you can see the CPU temperature with?
