Re: ACPI Problem: acpi_tz0:_TMP value is absurd
I located a file for upgrading the BIOS for my Compaq machine but it requires Windows to install it. I deleted the Windows that came with the machine several months ago, so, for now, that option is out. I created a file with the following commands: sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=1 sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate=1800 sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.user_override=0 and run it right after logging in as root using: source where is the file name. The message: acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd, ignored (-269.8C) still appears, but not as often. I could, of course, adjust it later if temperature might become a problem but, for now, the machine isn't on long enough for that to be a concern. It still doesn't fix the problem of an incorrect temperature, but at least I can read my monitor without it being cluttered with those messages. BMJ Never miss a thing.

ACPI Problem: acpi_tz0:_TMP value is absurd
A few weeks ago, I upgraded my Compaq Presario desktop machine from FreeBSD 6.2 to 6.3. I soon noticed this message on the screen. Apparently, the system is measuring the temperature of absolute zero. At first, I thought it to be an installation error on my part, but reformatting the hard drive and re-installing 6.3 didn't change anything. This message still appears in 7.0. I installed 6.3 on a Thinkpad laptop but there doesn't seem to be a problem with that machine. A search through Google showed that other users are having the same difficulty but I haven't found a solution yet. It's quite frustrating as there doesn't seem to be a file which I could edit to reset ACPI, either is there anything in the desktop machine's BIOS. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
