Hi, I'm currently annoyed be sudden shutdowns of my laptop, just after booting. It mostly happens when my MacBook (Core Duo) is still cold. Also, stressing the CPU (i.e. compiling a kernel) seems to provoke that behavior, which is why I'm guessing it has to do with emergency shutdowns due to overheat.
After four or five shutdowns, waiting a minute or two in between, the system finally starts up and doesn't die anymore, even if stressed. What's interesting, IMO, is that the fan doesn't even turn on before these shutdowns. I've applied the mactel linux patches to a plain vanilla 2.6.20 kernel. But I didn't even manage to figure out where to read the CPU temperature from. Also, can I configure the CPU frequency scaling somehow? Or the fan? Maybe I messed that up? Help appreciated.
