In xterm as root, just type: kernel-config load ulv then press enter
for other settings replace ulv with lv, xlv, or ideal

All settings are similar when tested v34 and v27.
Could this latest kernel update cause more current to be drain from battery?

So you must have some script (maybe the one recently posted that changes profiles based on temperature) or widget that changes the profiles.

note that the battery measurements are not accurate but non-linear and non-monotonic.
the best test would be to charge to 100% and let the battery completely drain under identical conditions.

what are the error messages you get when downloading or reverting back to stock kernel?

4. reboot
note: This does not touch the overclocked kernel. So can be done with either modded or non-modded kernel. Only updates the version information.
==================

Note the changed line 3 from what you tried. Let me know if this works for you -- it worked for me. The purpose of the * above is to make the instruction apply to situations that are slightly different, like yours.

1. root
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get upgrade
