[Bug 272247] Re: System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down

[Stefan Bader]

Right and because the title here says freezes, so its hard to get the relation
to overheating. Just to note one thing I recently read in a patch description:
apparently there are (at least two hp models iirc) some laptops which claim
working c-states (power saving states of the cpu) than they have working. The
older driver for that had a "bug" (or feature) that it would stop using not
working states (unfortunately the patch description did not exactly say how you
see the brokennes in powertop).
So one thing to try (without a customized DSDT) is to set
"processor.max_cstate=" to either 2 or 1 and see whether that has effect on the
temperature.
