Erroneous package power limit notification since kernel 2.6.39

[Olaf Freyer]

Hi,

since using kernel-2.6.39 I recieve those reports right after rebooting
my system when it's still "warm".
(Sensors reporting about 50°C. I don't see those on a cold boot early in
the morning.)
I don't get any such reports with 2.6.38.7 or any earlier kernel I used
before.

On executing "mcelog --syslog" I recieve those reports in /var/log/messages

I haven't dealt with any kernel issues before, so I'm somewhat lost what
to do next.
If there is anything I can do to track down the cause or any additional
information I need to provide,
just tell me what to.

Best regards,
Olaf Freyer
