Stating the obvious:
You should ensure that the machine is as dust-free as possible. Run
it with the case open and make sure all of the fans are running -
case, cpu, power supply, etc. The timing with the kernel upgrade
might be coincidental. The only way I can think of to check would be
to boot the previous kernel and see if symptoms persist.
Good luck,

You made me do it!
I rebooted again with the previous kernel ... 2187 ...
and the temperature indication appears normal 39.0, 39.5,
40.0, cycling a bit around 40°C rather than up to 45°C and
then the fan switching on to bring it back down.
Whatever the cause it's related to the "2200" kernel.
I don't know that it has much significance beyond a little
fan noise and it is a quiet fan, but it is telling me that
something works harder when the most recent kernel is used.

I normally view the data in a gkrellm window with xfce.
A curious problem if nothing else.
Thanks.
