This is bug https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606

The module therm_adt746x was not loaded automatically until now. So
the fan was never enabled and thus the iBook got very hot.

Today's daily built CD images should fix that. If you do not want to
install again, then please do 'sudo modprobe therm_adt746x' to fix it
immediately and append the module name to /etc/modules to have it
loaded at every system boot.
