Since we also have some experience in this, you might want to take our
responses to indicate that your thinking may be in error.
I'm certainly not trying to treat you like a yokel. I'm trying to get
you to think and behave like a computer engineer with nearly 30 years of
experience. So far this hasn't been very successful.

Is this the same lmmon binary in both cases? Have you confirmed these
temperatures with an external thermometer?

The first step in resolving this has simply been to try to narrow down
the variables so that we have some idea what might actually be involved
here. It's been a painful process, but we're almost there. Once you can
confirm that the onboard temperature sensors are working and bear a good
resemblance to reality we can eliminate them from the equation. I did
ask for verification of this (which hasn't been forthcoming yet).
I've also asked you to undertake the second phase, which is to perform a
binary-search set of kernel builds to pin down the timeframe in which
this change occurred. It's also been suggested that the scheduler
changes made by Bruce Evans may have impacted your system; you might want
to bracket those changes to quickly eliminate them as possibilities.
