Fw: 2.6.11-rc4 doubles CPU temperature

Fw: 2.6.11-rc4 doubles CPU temperature

[Ben Castricum]

For some weird reason, 2.6.11-rc4 up to the current BK tree about doubles my
CPU temperature from 20 degrees Celcius to 40 while everything else is
unchanged (load/processes/config). The system does seem a bit more sluggish,
but that may just be a feeling. A cat /proc/cpu gives me

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 6
model name      : Celeron (Mendocino)
stepping        : 5
cpu MHz         : 475.100
cache size      : 128 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 2
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr
bogomips        : 940.03

and my .config can be found at

I haven't got a clue on how to analyse this problem so I really appreciate
any info or suggestions I get. Please help me.

Cheers,
Ben

How are you determining this temperature? 20 degrees seems pretty 
unlikely for any CPU, let alone a Mendocino Celeron - 40 degrees is more 
reasonable..
