it might be that your DSDT does not define a thermal_zone. you can send
it to the list if you like to, or better send a link to it. check
http://acpi.sf.net/dsdt/index.php to learn how to extract that table.
or your DSDT is faulty which should be shown in the output of "dmesg".
are there any AE_* messages or similar errors which point to ACPI?
or the ACPI implementation of Lіnux is at fault.
which machine are you running, btw?

that depends on your distribution. on Debian, just "apt-get install
acpi".

cheers,
