Sorry that is [acpitz0].

I don't detect any coretemp or any other temperatures. I don't know 
coretemp.

dmesg is at

Not yet. Note the system was working fine before I upgraded from Ubuntu 
Linux a few days ago. (I am purposely using -current since I need some

Yes, that is how I am going it now. That is how I got my temperature and

This is my wife's system and I am sure I am frustrating her :)

I will updated -current again and try it too.
