Indeed. It comes from ACPI, so either your BIOS is broken, or there's a bug somewhere in Linux's ACPI code. You might look for a BIOS upgrade for your machine. > Is there a way to get > sensors to ignore the value? It's really messing up my Munin monitoring of > the machine.

It works the same for all chips, virtual or not. In you case, this would read: chip "acpitz-virtual-0" ignore temp1 This should work, please let me know if it doesn't. This however isn't very aesthetic, as the virtual chip in question will still be displayed. Maybe we could change this behavior, either in sensors or directly in libsensors. I'm not totally sure what can be decided in libsensors and what should be left for applications to decide. An alternative is to simply specify on the command line which chip you want to see: $ sensors "vt1211-*" But probably it won't help your "Munin monitoring", if it doesn't provide any option to select which hardware monitoring chip should be used. So probably the easiest way to get what you need is to prevent the ACPI "thermal" driver from loading. Either by blacklisting it or by removing it from some init script / system configuration file, depending on your distribution. Beware though that the thermal driver might be needed for, well, thermal management of your system, so try this at your own risk and keep an eye on the temperature!
