What about this one:

"ACPI: Fix thermal shutdowns" ?

It should have been submitted to stable@xxx well before 2.6.26.3, but it
wasn't for some stupid reason. Then some of us noticed it was missing in
2.6.26.3, and gave everyone a head's up, but it was too late for 2.6.26.3.

And now it also apparently failed to make it to 2.6.26.4?

As far as I recall, without this patch, all X6* ThinkPads that are not in
absolute top-notch thermal condition heat up until they are forced to
shutdown due to overtemperature (thus, slowly further damaging hardware that
is not in good shape to begin with).

Greg, is there any way to include the above patch for 2.6.26.4?



Agreed. This patch makes thinkpads unusable... and it was actually
included in 2.6.26.2...

I guess the best/safest course right now is to just revert in stable.
