"thermal.nocrt=1" will disable the actual shutdown -- but you'll
still get the warning -- which might be helpful.  "thermal.crt=105"
would override all critical trip points to be 105, for example,
but otherwise not change any behaviour.

Hmm, I don't have a T500, but I've not seen such crashes during -rc.
Please send along your .config
Do you still get them when disabling the thinkpad-acpi driver?

Probably the most interesting place to bisect is drivers/acpi/ec.c

If you can send along the dmesg from the recent failing kernel,
plus the output from "grep . /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/*"
that may be helpful.

thanks,
