Romain,
Thanks for your feedback.

The coretemp driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor 
present in Intel Core and newer CPUs (according to coretemp manpage).

I am using old Intel Pentium M processor( http://privatepaste.com/d107389cc1),
so coretemp module can't help in my case.

Regards,
Nick
