The computer overheats and you see the kernel panic in 45 minutes due to overheat. #201

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install Mac OS X 10.6 and prepare it.
2.Hook up its power cable(It should be charging)
3.Watch a DIVX movie for 45 minutes(With compression of course)

What netbook are you using this on?
Dell Mini 10v(Inspiron 1011)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that the computer to show the DIVX movie without lagging. I see that 
after 20 minutes, 
the computer badly overheats and movie drops to 1/2 fps. After 45 minutes, it 
kernel panics.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
NetbookInstaller 0.8.3 Final and Mac OS X 10.6.2(All versions of 10.6 does the 
same)

Please provide any additional information below.
I see the computer slows down after the movie started lagging. I am installing 
VoodooPowerMini.kext now. I will tell the results. I think that the problem is 
the lack of 
SpeedStep.

The machine doest't have a fan, and dvix is cpu intensive. It'll cause it to 
heat up. Once the machine is 
overheating, the bios / cpu will try to protect itself and will throttle the 
cpu speed. 

This isn't an OS X issue, you are just overusing the cpu / don't have adequate 
ventilation. Let me know if adding 
VoodooPowerMini works.

Actually, the machine did not last long to install VoodooPowerMini because it 
kernel panicked when it booted into safe 
mode and i deleted the kext mentioned there(RealtekR1000.kext) and it just 
shouts out unsupported cpu when it boots. 
Ran UpdateExtra after the change too. By the way there is a SMBios problem 
which makes the boot time from 45 seconds 
to 1 and an half minutes. When i enable SMBios defaults from Boot.plist it 
boots quicker. Will put the kext back with the 
iAtkos leopard install disk when i arrive home. Sorry no screenshots because i 
am writing from my iPhone...

Its good with speedstep now. Thanks for your help. And the guy who wants to 
install OSX, try to learn the discs 
UUID and specify it as root device and know that you will have bugs because 
that is not a netbook.

Speedstepping is supported in 0.8.4 RC2. Marking this as fixed.
