I am closing this bug since the original issue was fixed. If someone
still has heating problems should open a new bug, otherwise it gets
difficult to manage here a different problem (this last one appears to
be workarounded installing powernowd) with the same symptoms.

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?
