A bit of an update on the issue. As a previous user has stated on the list, it appears to be related to battery level. After a fresh install, without the nocrt module option and a full battery, I don't get the thermal shutdown. (this may also explain why some others don't see it, if they are always plugged into power, or possibly if they suspend to ram) Once my battery level falls to slightly below full (the previous poster stated ~90% which i would agree with roughly) then even the nocrt module option fails. (initrd was updated) Once the battery is back up to almost full charge, the issue goes away. Some other good news is that the sid 2.6.26 (-4) kernel does appear to have this issue fixed. So I guess we have a few options now for people. Firstly, a suggestion to make sure the battery is full when booting the 26 kernel, and then possibly use suspend to ram after if they need to work off of battery. Otherwise, the kernel can be booted with acpi=off, but this of course means no hotkeys for that boot. Or thirdly blacklisting thermal as previously mentioned. The kernel team mailed for a unblock of the -4 kernel image so it will hopefully be available for lenny within the week. The other thing people could do is to manually fetch and install the -4 image (theres no unsatisfiable depends, it should install fine with dpkg), which will hopefully work for everyone (appears good from my tests) Unfortunately, the ec storm issue is still in the -4 image, so we will still have hotkeys issues afaict. If anyone can try and verify these results, we can start getting the wiki to reflect it, and hopefully release the new installer with a few caveats.
