Description of problem: This probably gives the best summary here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-September/102788.html But the long and the short of it, after upgrading the F 16 I am constantly seeing thermal events for the VPU being logged. A sampling: [ 2116.023711] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP limit exceeded: Avg temp 9487, limit 9000 [ 2121.011212] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP limit exceeded: Avg temp 9687, limit 9000 [ 2125.998701] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP limit exceeded: Avg temp 9799, limit 9000 [ 2185.848650] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP limit exceeded: Avg temp 9366, limit 9000 [ 2190.836146] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP limit exceeded: Avg temp 9699, limit 9000 [ 2195.823651] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP limit exceeded: Avg temp 9799, limit 9000 When running under windows I do not have this issue. When running under Fedora 15 I do not have this issue. I am unsure at this point if it is in fact the kernel, but given that I booted a F 15 rescue disk with an older kernel and chrooted into my F 16 install, and then ran stress -c 5 without issue I believe it probably is related to the kernel. The hardware is a Lenovo ThinkPad T510. Smolt profile here: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_89da1bce-aee0-447a-b859-06a44111f08b Let me know what I can do to help diagnose this issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -q kernel kernel-3.1.0-0.rc3.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.0-0.rc4.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.0-0.rc5.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
I was able to reproduce this in Windows, I believe it to be a HW issue now. Sorry for the inconvenience. -Erinn
