hi,

my system: 2.6.3 acpi patched

I have noticed, that at some sudden point in time (especially when I am
not working actively ( I mean using input devices )), I receive a
thermal shutdown, because of a (false?) temperature value.

looking under /var/log/kern.log I found  

jaques2:/var/log# cat  kern.log | grep  Critical
Feb 19 16:11:21 jaques2 kernel: Critical temperature reached (123 C),
shutting down.
Feb 19 16:11:22 jaques2 kernel: Critical temperature reached (46 C),
shutting down.
Feb 20 10:47:02 jaques2 kernel: Critical temperature reached (123 C),
shutting down.
Feb 20 10:47:02 jaques2 kernel: Critical temperature reached (44 C),
shutting down.
Mar  2 22:38:27 jaques2 kernel: Critical temperature reached (123 C),
shutting down.
Mar  2 22:38:27 jaques2 kernel: Critical temperature reached (44 C),
shutting do

this temperature always happens to be 123 C.
How is that possible?
I noticed that the acpi_thermal_critical method uses some kind of flag
for enabled disabled, but apparently in any case the shutdown user space
app (/sbin/poweroff) is called.
Should this only be the case when the temperature is too high and the
flag (enabled) is set to != 0? Otherwise, what is the point in the
enabled thing. [tz->trips.critical.flags.enabled]

As you can see from my kern.log, the second value is drastically lower,
so could this be a weekness in the system, that one sporadically high
value can trigger a shutdown?

thanks
-- Jakob

It's known issue!

Pavel has the following solution. Let me know whether it works for you

Trying to make the move to 2.6 on my Inspiron 8500, I've played with a 
number of 2.6 kernels. Twice now I've had my system to a hard (BIOS 
initiated) thermal shutdown. This only happens with 2.6 kernels 
(2.6.1-mm?) and (2.6.3_rc3), which I've noticed tend to run much hotter. 
With 2.4 I rarely see 80C and under heavy load 85C, but with the 2.6 
kernels I'm usually running at 77C under little load, so I doubt this is 
some kind of miscalculation. At this point I'm really just looking for 
suggestions on how to proceed in this investigation: what could it be? 
what can I test?
