Hi
I have dell inspiron n5010 laptop with core i5 & ATI mobility radeon 5470 hd graphics card.
when i start Tinycore it overheats after just 5 minuts & then auto shutdown.
here is lsmod output:

Now i google & found that its issue with linux kernel's ASPM(Active state power management) feature & suggested to use pcie_aspm=force. i used it with tinycore but nothing changed.
Some saying that its issue with opensource radeon driver , some saying issue of cloesed source drives...,some say this issue will be fixed in 3.1, 3.2 kernel update..
Now what to do?
lm-sensors show high temperature after just 5 min of booting.. & yes this is my grub entry
menuentry "Tinycore Linux -- Fix recursive fault"
{
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,2)'
linux /tinycore/boot/vmlinuz quiet tce desktop=xfce4 maxcpus=1 pcie_aspm=force
initrd /tinycore/boot/core.gz
}
