I had the same doubt some time ago, but you are right, these are the temperature limits. > What it actually says on boot is > > acpitz2: Critical temperature, shutting down. > > I don't think there's anything hotter than 112C while the machine boots. > > With acpiec disabled, the above does not happen and sysctl hw.sensors > reports reasonable temperatures; the systme runs fine (except acpibat > and others are confused). I had, with my previous HP nw9440 notebook, the same problem with those sensors, but not always. And more often when the machine was first started, almost never on reboots. I think there is something inside that needs to settle down before the readings make sense. I saw -2000 degrees on one of them, one time. :-) If I waited a few minutes (sometime even a few seconds), pausing in rc.securelevel at the softraid password prompt I scripted, the problem solved itself. You could try putting some sleep xxx inside rc.securelevel and see if the messages continue to pop up on the console or stop. The system does not shut itself down until the boot is over. HTH.
