acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd, ignored (-269.0C)

[Deleted member 2077]

This is an older system with FreeBSD 9.0 i386

CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU                1200MHz (1193.21-MHz 686-class CPU)
cpu0: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0
acpi_throttle0: <ACPI CPU Throttling> on cpu0

I'm getting some messages about absurd values from acpi. I searched around for this and it seems my BIOS is giving the OS bad values? I have the latest bios reversion. It's an old and outdated system, so probably 0 chance of getting any more updates/fixes.

I guess it's not hurting anything? Is there a way to disable this monitoring? I still want acpi [I think?], so still build it in my kernel.

I've got a Compaq machine here that does that. Pentium D, so it's hard to get motivated to work on it.

There's a chapter in the Handbook that talks about modifying buggy ACPI implementations. It doesn't give a lot of details, but there is an freebsd-acpi mailing list also.
