Yes, I would agree that a repeated message is much more of an annoyance than having it just happen once at boot time. With a Pentium D, there probably isn't a core temperature monitor at all (I *think* that's true for all of them, but it's definitely true for some), so you just want to turn the messages off. Unfortunately, I can't browse sources now, but I think that what happens might be controlled by events going through devd. If that's correct, you should be able to add an event rule to drop events related to your non-existant thermistor (or delete one that already exists). You also might be able to change the polling period for the thermal device. Good luck.
