Has this always happened, or did it appear with recent kernels?
The laptop is new, i got it 3 weeks ago, and has only be running rawhide, becuse it need iwlagn to make the wireless work. So it has happened it the latest couple of weeks rawhide kernels. the /var/log/messages filled up a 20 GB root filesystem i a couple of weeks, because of these messages.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
looks a lot like this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=199812
Same problem on TOSHIBA Satellite M500-ST6421 laptop running freshly installed FC11 kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.x86_64. CPU heats up to 99C. Fan works strongly for a second and stops. Is there any way to make it work more often or constantly at a lower speed? Are those problems related? Thanks.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
