Re: thermal zone causing insta-reboot on bootup of 2.6.3

[Len Brown <len.brown-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

if you delete the thermal module, this failure will go away
(and so will our ability to debug it;-)

perhaps you can file a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org
category: ACPI
component: Power-Thermal

and attach the output from dmesg -s40000 with thermal installed.

clearly we're getting a bogus temperature reading.

thanks,
