If I got your message right, unfortunately, I'm not literate at all about the internal mechanisms of hardware monitoring :( All I know is that the temperature that is reported as cpu's by coretemp / sensors is actually (I'm pretty sure) that of the hdd. The crit temps that sensors report (90C) is accurate according to intel's specs for N280, but the temperature is too low for this cpu (right now, it's 29C) and it corresponds almost perfectly to hdd temperature reported in Windows (checked with a reboot from Linux to Windows). The average cpu temp reported in Windows is 50C+... Is it possible that what coretemp thinks is MSR is actually not it (I don't know what I'm saying at this point)? This may be related to how Acer set (wrongly?) things up with Aspire One D250 (via their bios??), but I'm not sure about that. Their bios (?) already has other problems with this cpu[1]. I opened yet another bug report in linux kernel about this: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14991 which has one other user reporting similar experience on the D250. That bug report also has my output of acpidump, if relevant here. Thanks again for your reply. Is there any way I can help debug this?
