To elaborate on what is happening on my Abit AN-M2 running Gutsy, I've plotted a graph of temperature readings. Note the 121 C spike in the ACPI reading that is not reflected in reading from lm_sensors. In this instance, the spike only lasted five seconds, not lasting long enough to force a shutdown.
I've also reported this problem to Abit, just in case it's a motherboard and/or BIOS issue. Perhaps the kernel needs an "acpi=ignoretemp" option to deal with this. If I run with "acpi=off" I get problems shutting down (manual power-off needed), suboptimal IRQ assignments, and no CPU frequency scaling. ** Attachment added: "AN-M2 temperature plot illustring ACPI issue" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11602861/badacpi.png -- kernel 2.6.20-xx incorrectly claims processor overheating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
