What kind of hardware? IBM/Lenovo? Does it occur under high load or
really at random X? Is it a notebook? Are you using it inside a
docking station?

Take a closer look at /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature and
in case it's IBM/Lenovo hardware check out the module thinkpad_acpi
and files like /proc/acpi/ibm/fan. If your system shuts down check
out the temperature information available within BIOS.

Have you checked if this is a false reading or a cooling failure?
After the shutdown go into the bios and check the
temperature.

no idea on your hardware, please report upstream on bugzilla.kernel.org
with proper dmesg info when that happens and lspci -vvv output

kind regards

Bug#494984: Bug #494984 Critical temperature reached on the EeePC models 701, 900

2008-10-11 Thread Robert Laine

Dear developers,

I have experienced that bug when starting from battery and as reported it does 
not occur when starting from main supply.

It happen when loading the hald module and I do not have knowledge of how the 
hald works to call temperature monitoring.

However from past experience in electronic it looks like an initialisation 
problem of either a variable in the hald code or more likely in the hardware 
itself as it shows only when differently powered up.

If you know how to modify the hald loading sequence, you could try to 
initialise twice the temperature reading and take only into account the second 
reading in the check of temperature limit. 
Alternatively you could modify the temperature monitoring module itself to 
take the average of two successive temperature reading and compare it to the 
limit, this way the average may be within limits even if the first reading is 
out. 

I hope that this help solving the problem.
