Grub, Ubuntu and updates
Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:23:53 GMT

Basic bootloader question
Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:29:55 +0100
I use grub 0.97 extensively on my multi-OS test PC.

Thanks for any help.

ACPI says temp is 256C
8 Sep 2009 08:13:36 GMT
On my laptop (HP 6735s) 'acpi -t' tells me the temperature is 256C
(critical). It obviously isn't; the laptop feels quite cool and it is
working normally. Is this a bug in acpi or what?
