may I ask which notebook you have? I have a compal jhl90 and I think I'm having the same issue... my laptop shut down once after a compilation marathon... but it gets very hot running normally... so I hope this will fix my issues too.. thanks :)
@Bruno: I knew the fan could go faster since at startup it actually it spinned faster, so i thought it could be the fan driver, looking for it i found an existing linux driver for the same brand as my laptop so i tried to add the description of my laptop and it worked :-)
Reminds me of my first and only scratch-my-own-itch kernel patch [1]. Though that was for FreeBSD, six years ago :) Trivial fix to get my MP3-player working (broken USB-stack on the device).

How did you debug your issue and reach the conclusion that you needed a fix in the kernel?
@apol: The link to the patch is there in front of your eyes ;-)

@friesoft: KHLB2 so you are on your own, sorry.

Wow, didn't know you dabbled in the kernel stuff also! :D cool!
