I'll take a look - thanks. As I've described above, the kernel itself is not the cause of the overheating (it's the uhci driver and/or the i915 driver from what it seems now), but the kernels differ in how they are able to handle it.
For me it's not a fan issue as this computer is fanless. Previous to Hardy it never had any temperature issues; beginning with Hardy it's been running hot, though, without any visible system load to explain it (and anecdotally, other people in the lab have experienced the same with other laptop models too). I'll try the 2.6.25 kernel; The overheating itself seems to be independent of the kernel version though, and is really the more serious issue in a way. -- Hardy kernel causes overheating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
