Looks OK, else the checksums would be failing.

On most laptops you can get one temperature from ACPI. Try loading the
"thermal" and "fan" modules, then take a look
in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone and /proc/acpi/fan, respectively.

You might also have a temperature sensor in your hard disk drive, which
you can read using smartmontools, or the dedicated tool "hddtemp". I
don't much like it because you need to be root to get the information.

Hope that helps,
