Comment 25 for bug 94862

To elaborate on what is happening on my Abit AN-M2 running Gutsy, I've plotted a graph of temperature readings. Note the 121 C spike in the ACPI reading that is not reflected in reading from lm_sensors. In this instance, the spike only lasted five seconds, not lasting long enough to force a shutdown.

I've also reported this problem to Abit, just in case it's a motherboard and/or BIOS issue. Perhaps the kernel needs an "acpi=ignoretemp" option to deal with this. If I run with "acpi=off" I get problems shutting down (manual power-off needed), suboptimal IRQ assignments, and no CPU frequency scaling.
