Thank you for the suggestions, Dale and Stroller.

I have an Athlon64 machine, and in order to access the CPU temperature
on that, I simply built the 'k8temp' module. The option to build the
'coretemp' module is on the same page of menuconfig. However, coretemp
isn't applicable to my Pentium D 3GHz.

I would like to know if there is any way - other than by using
lm_sensors - that I can get at the temperature of my CPU. k8temp works
for AMD Athlon64 CPUs, coretemp is for Intel Core CPUs, is there a
similar solution for Intel Pentium D CPUs?


Also, can anyone enlighten me as to whether it is correct that my
Pentium D 3GHz can only drop to 2.4GHz at the lowest, rather than
anything lower, while doing frequency scaling?


Thanks again,
Richard
