Did you have to do that with previous kernels too?

Is this a single or multi-cpu system?

I would like to see the contents of /proc/cpuinfo.

I admit I don't quite get it for now. While the device probing logic
was modified a lot in the coretemp driver of kernel 3.0, the microcode
check did not change, so I just don't get why the new driver would
behave differently from the previous ones in this respect.

For testing purposes, I made the 2.6.39 version of the coretemp driver
available as a standalone driver:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/coretemp_old/
(Instructions at http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/INSTALL )

I would like you to test it on your 3.0 kernel and report whether it is
working or not. You'll have to rmmod the original coretemp driver
before loading coretemp_old, you can't have both loaded at once.

If coretemp_old works, then please rmmod it and modprobe coretemp
again, and see if it then works.
