Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
I'm running Ubuntu on Apple MacBook (Core Duo T2300 processor): Dapper installed to the HD (kernel 2.6.15-26-686), or Edgy Knot-1 liveCD (kernel 2.6.17). In both cases, ACPI does not activate the "thermal zone", the /proc/acpi/
Yet, temperature for the processor is available when running the MacBook with OS X.
It is possible that the absence of temperature info under the Ubuntu kernels is related to the fact that the MacBook runs decidedly hotter (by feel) under Linux than under OS X, although precise figures are difficult to fathom without thermal_zone info.
The Core Duo T2300 is not some niche processor, so I believe that the Linux kernel should provide ACPI thermal_zone info with some urgency.

Let's get the dmesg for this system please. Attach it (do no paste it into comments).
Thanks
