Temperature ridicuously high

Hi,

I'm a bit of a loss, I can't find anything about that on google or in
the archive. I do have to machines with a foxconn G31MX motherboard.
Everything is working fine, except the thermal_zone temperature is
ridicuously high. I get a continous reading of about 200°... Sometimes a
machine shuts down because of too high values. In the same time, the
cores (Intel 5200 DualCore) have a temperature of ca. 52°. If I shut
down the machine and check the bios reading, the temperature is at about
50°... There's been a discussion with broken bioses on foxconn (mine
have an award bios), but the problem there was suspend.

I'm on Fedora 10. I activated the debug kernel and got the following log
from acpi:

Feb 11 16:13:21 nepomuk kernel: Execute Method: [\_TZ_.THRM._TMP] (Node

thermal_get_temperatur: Temperature is 4772 dK

If somebody could help besides manipulating the kernel routine, this
would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Klaus
