Correction, most of what I said was wrong in detail, but the basic message is still correct :-) 1) In F9 coretemp now comes with the kernel (in FC8 I remember downloading and installing it separately). 2) The package you need is lm_sensors. 3) You need to run sensors-detect (as root) to set it up. This isn't automatic because the config script is interactive (some of the probes can potentially crash your system).
