A couple of observations: * This bug will not cause hardware damage. The hard thermal cutoff temperature is well below the temperature at which actual damage will occur.
* It's not clear that the vendor DSDT is broken. It's an unusual interpretation of the spec, but not necessarily an invalid one - sadly, the ACPI specification is not entirely clear on every point. The patch is /probably/ safe, and we've been shipping it in Ubuntu. On the other hand, previous versions did cause problems on certain other items of hardware. It's not clear what the best option is, but it's certainly not a regression over Sarge. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
