Sorry that my suggestion was no help. The reason I did so was that there
are several paramters that can be set on a Mac and will survive a reboot
and even between OS X and Ubuntu (the iSight firmware loading is one). I
think that maybe Ubuntu is setting something incorrectly, and then it
survives into OS X. resetting the SMC should repair that though until
whatever activates the problem does so again.

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?
