Thanks for the suggestion. I updated the BIOS. The only relevant difference I see in dmesg is the new version number of the BIOS; I still have the message about a broken BIOS and acpitz finding the temperature too high. For the record: <http://tar-jx.bz/stuff/dmesg.lapin-5.0-nohaltoncrit-newbios> I've been paying closer attention to the dmesg from Linux and FreeBSD, and indeed, in both cases, I see messages about flaky things in the BIOS. However, both Linux and FreeBSD are able to see the correct temperature. For instanace, under FreeBSD: # sysctl -a ... hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 57.0C <http://tar-jx.bz/stuff/dmesg.lapin-freebsd9rc1> <http://tar-jx.bz/stuff/sysctl-a.lapin-freebsd9rc1> Linux: <http://tar-jx.bz/stuff/dmesg.lapin-linux> [ 0.168433] ACPI: EC: EC description table is found, configuring boot EC (I don't know if the EC table was available before the BIOS update; all I know is that Linux was able to get the correct temperature/) [ 0.249652] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored ...

I am far from an expert in ACPI; I have no idea what an EC table is, for instance, and maybe I'm missing something obvious. -- Fred
