Ricky, have reset my SMC controller several times recently (related to a
Windows VM taking out my video card then rendering my laptop un-
bootable...). This is definitely a firmware issue. The problem first
appeared, as I said, after installing Hardy last year. Applying this

patch fixes it under Leopard until next boot to Ubuntu, when it's broken
for both OSes again. I thought the problem might be fixed when I
upgraded to Intrepid so I waited it out, but to no avail.

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?
