I have been running Karmic (alpha 4, but updated to latest) on my MBP
5,1 without any heat issues, so I can at least un-confirm this problem
for Karmic - I really think it is a knee-jerk reaction to put it in the
release notes - there are many happy users of Karmic on MBP (see the
Apple section of ubuntuforums.org).

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?
