Fc5T2 boot problem

[Tom Diehl]

Hi all,

I tried to install fc5t2 on a test box today but when the kernel boots I get
"Critical Temperature reached (256 c) shutting down". and it does. The machine
is not overheated. All of the fans work and in fact if it were really 256c I
suspect the magic smoke would leak out.

In looking for an answer I see most people report this on laptops and upgrade
the bios to fix it. This machine is an old p3 desktop and afaict there is no
bios upgrade available. 

Is there a way to turn off this check??
