this could simply be from chip reset or limit setting by the driver at initialization. This causes an ALERT output from the chip which the BIOS interprets as an overtemp and shuts the system down immediately. (another reason for init=0 being the default) But if the option line prevents the driver from accessing the chip at all, then this isn't the problem...
