I installed FreeNAS on a HP Pavilion xt966. Every three seconds or so I message comes up on the console.

acpi_tz0: _TMP value is absurd, ignored (-270.2C)

From what I have been able to find this is because of a bug in the BIOS... but I have yet to find an update for it.

HP's site only shows drivers.

Anyone know where to find a BIOS update for this unit?

INFO: FreeNAS

Version 0.7.1 Shere (revision 5024)

Built on Tue Jan 26 00:11:57 UTC 2010

OS Version FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p6 (revision 199506)

It looks like the xt966 runs an Intel 850 chipset on a motherboard from ASUS. Going from ASUS's website it looks like there are only 4-5 motherboards they sold at that time. (The P4T and it's children) Check on the motherboard physically if it has a model number or some other information. ASUS will probably have the latest BIOS on their website.

  • Where did you find out who made the motherboard?
