@Alex Murray:
No Alex, (a) since I installed "powernowd" I don't see this problem anymore. (b) I thought of the machine being hot and the graphics chip being damaged or so. So I just launched Mac-OS to see if there is something strange. Nothing, all works fine.

It makes me think it has something to do with frequency scaling
management (cpufreqd, cpudyn).

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?
