Best would be to first look for a BIOS update.
I know HPs with a broken critical trip point of 256C.
I currently try to convince people for a:
FIRMWARE_BUG (severity, descritpion, component)
interface in the kernel.
IMO Intel's linuxfirmwarekit where you have to write scripts to check for BIOS
bugs is not worth much.
- Have of the bugs are already aborbed/ignored/workarounded in kernel.
- No kernel hacker has the time to write these scripts
- It's often a one liner to mark bugs as firmware bugs in the kernel and this
also documents the kernel a bit better
I don't have much time, but IMO we really need a better BIOS checking...
