In case anyone still cares...

I have experienced the same Prblem:
compiling the kernel works ok, put doing a full backup into a tar.gz over
nfs powered my thinkpad off after some minutes, also encoding a CD to mp3
powered it off after 4 tracks...

When I did the Backup I added 2 external fans to the thinkpad-fan-openings
and then it worked fine.
So it IS an overheat-shutdown.

Today I callled the german IBM-Hotline on that, lets see what they say in
germany. I hope there is a simple solution on that...
Maybe they 'forgot' to include fan-support into the acpi-table...


cheers,
Florian
