[BUG?] Critical temperature shutdowns on ThinkPad X60 1706-GMG

Hi there!

In July 2008 I reported a problem about critical temperature shutdowns:

  http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c87zlnyv14h.fsf%5f%2d%5f%40gismo.pca.it%3e

Since I was not the only one experiencing it, reading the mailing list I
had the impression it had been solved since then.

And indeed I do not remember I have experienced it again.  However, the
last week it reappeared, probably because in the meantime I have not
used my laptop at full power :-(

Anyway, here we are:

- I got 6 "Critical temperature reached (128 C), shutting down"
  experiences since January 30th

- when I know that temperature could rise (e.g. using QEMU to build
  Debian packages for armel), I usually set the fan at maximum speed

    $ echo -n "level full-speed" >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan

  However, the last time (10 minutes ago) happened even with that
  setting and my setup was:

  * my usual Emacs session
  * Conkeror
  * a git-buildpackage process (basically building a Debian package from
    a Git repository and inside a chroot)
  * the Openmoko FreeRunner was plugged to the left USB port and charging
  * on one of the right port there was an Eutronsec SIMReaderCombo,
    basically an OmniKey CardMan 6121 USB SIM-sized smartcard reader
    coupled with a 2GB flash memory (in my case this is SLC, more
    information at http://www.eutronsec.it/ )
  * the laptop is placed on a scientific laboratory desk and the airflow
    from the fan grid is free to circulate
  * the laptop is on AC power with no battery inserted

- the last was on Debian kernel 2.6.28-1~experimental.1~snapshot.12674;
  since I am preparing for FOSDEM, I do not have time right now to test
  a vanilla kernel, but I will do starting from next Monday.  Which
  kernel version should I test first, 2.6.28.3?

That is all, I think.  Feel free to ask for more inforation/test.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

The Critical shutdown threshold is 128. In fact it is quite high. 
In fact only when the actual temperature is above 128, the following
message will be complained and the box will be shutdown.
   >Critical temperature reached (128 C), shutting down

Will you please attach the output of acpidump? Let's check whether the
temperature is obtained by using EC.
   Thanks.

Attached, obtained on Debian sid with acpidump_20071116 and command

  $ acpidump -o Lenovo_1706-GMG_ThinkPad-X60_BIOS-2.16.acpidump

Thx, bye,
