Announcing the release of updated kmod-coretemp packages into the EL5 
elrepo extras repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-coretemp

This package provides an updated coretemp driver backported from 
kernel-2.6.39.4 that is kABI compatible with all kernels from 5.5 
(kernel-2.6.18-194.el5) onwards. This release fixes TjMax detection on 
some older CPUs.

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of 
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one 
specific build.

The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:

x86
kmod-coretemp-1.1-10.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-coretemp-PAE-1.1-10.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-coretemp-1.1-10.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

src
coretemp-kmod-1.1-10.el5.elrepo.src.rpm


You may update your system by:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-extras update kmod-coretemp

Once the package has been updated, remember to unload the old driver 
before loading the new version into the kernel:

/sbin/modprobe -r coretemp
/sbin/modprobe coretemp


Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
