Override acpi on Hp pavillion Dv1000

Question

/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
critical (S5):           83 C
passive:                 78 C: tc1=2 tc2=3 tsp=50 devices=CPU0
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info
processor id:            0
acpi id:                 0
bus mastering control:   yes
power management:        yes
throttling control:      yes
limit interface:         yes
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling
state count:             8
active state:            T0
state available: T0 to T7
states:
   *T0:                  100%
    T1:                  87%
    T2:                  75%
    T3:                  62%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  37%
    T6:                  25%
    T7:                  12%
i there a way to override the critical (S5) from 83C to something like 90C (Dothan max temp is 100C) cos when compiling stuff or doing high load task the temperature will be increase upto 81C and when it reach 83C the laptop will automatically halt and shutdown
also i want to override the passive temp from 78C to 72C. if i correct this laptop would turn on its full fan speed when it reach 78C and if i can lower the passive temperature below 78 i guess my cpu will have the time to cool off before reaching magical 83C (auto halt shutdown)

Answer 1

No specific info about how to fix this problem - in general though, one typically needs to use kernel boot options to tell the kernel what to do/not to do when it boots. Like ignoring specific h/w, using specific settings for probing hardware and so on.
I suggest hitting Google with you favourite browser and research how to use Linux kernel boot options to disable ACPI probing and loading of drivers.
