      Not an Intel Core processor hence coretemp won't work.
      Instead you need the amdtemp.ko module (32bit or 64bit).

        Thanks! I didn't realise it was for Intel :)
        Now it works like a charm! :)

          Yes, the name is a little ambiguous. Glad it worked I've not ever run it myself.  ;)

              I tried this on my system, but it did not work :(. I have a AMD Athlon™ XP 3200+ and I used the amdtemp.ko module.

              Any sugestions???

                The amdtemp module supports AMD K8 microarchitecture or newer. The Athlon XP is K7.

                To get the temperature of earlier CPUs you could try using mbmon. You will have to do some coding to make it work with this widget though.

                  Thanks! This is great and should be included in the default install IMO!!

                  Again, Thanks alot!

                    Hello,
                    I tried applying the patch that is located in the main post. I downloaded the package system patch and have tried it via command line with the same result. When I test the patch I get errors saying it cant be applied cleanly. Is this due to showp1984 stuff? should it be removed? not that experienced with troubleshooting patches..

                    Output of full patch apply test:

                    /usr/bin/patch –directory=/ -t -p4 -i /var/patches/50be92a047646.patch --check --forward

                    Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

                      I haven't actually tried this but looking at the patch file it's obviously been built against two files on the OPs desktop machine.

                      Since this is a relatively minor change to only two files I suggest you simply edit the two files manually.

                        Stephen,
                        I was able to do the manual edits prior to posting. I was just wondering why the patch wasn't working. It would have just saved me some time editing that's all.  Thought maybe i was doing something wrong with the patch.

                        btw thanks to the OP for working on this. I do appreciate it. Now if i could just get this info on LCDProc everything would be golden. :-D

                          For some reason i can't get coretemp to automatically load upon reboot. I can ssh over and run kldload coretemp and i am up and running.  I did edit the loader.conf.local and added coretemp_load="yes".  The module is in /boot/modules as well.

                          Am I missing something else to enable pfsense to load this on boot if i have to reboot the firewall?

                            File permissions perhaps?
                            Looks like you're doing everything correctly.

                              What would i be looking for in relation to file permission? is there a way to test (fake boot process) to see if it would give me an error and why it wouldnt load?

                                should i add the line to loader.conf? or would that be bad? Wasnt sure if the .local may not be utilized for some reason? just thinking out loud.

                                  /boot/loader.conf may change on reinstall; /boot/loader.conf.local is guaranteed to remain untouched by a reinstall.

                                  You might see an error report on coretemp during the early boot (before the kernel is started).

                                    Worked just fine on my Jetway MB with pfSense 2.0.2

                                    coretemp.ko was already in /boot/kernel folder

                                    Edited all files manually

                                          I have it working on my Soekris 6501-50 with atom E6xx proc. and i386 pfSense 2.1.
                                          It shows the temp for 2 cores (hyper threading).
                                          I have manually edited both .php files
                                          Works great.
