Is it possible to control C.O.P

Is it possible to control C.O.P

[Luigi Genoni]

HI,
there is a way that the kernel could cope with CPU Overheating Protection?

I am usng a Tyan MPX with Dual AthlonMP, but COP is configured to shutdown
the system toot early, when the temparature is still low.

lm_sensors 2.9.0 didn't help

Thanx in advance

I'm guessing this is controlled by the BIOS and handled by hardware, so 
I don't know that there's much the kernel can do about it. Is there a 
threshold temperature setting in the BIOS?

Not sure what you mean by "shutdown" - the OS shuts down the system 
cleanly or the BIOS just switches off the power? If the former, you, most 
probably, just have wrongly configured sensors. I had a problem with 
fictitious CPU overheating, until I modified my /etc/sensors.conf. Just 
ask on sensors@stimpy.netroedge.com - no need to subscribe, people are 
very helpful there.
