[gentoo-user] re: Failed to load x86_pkg_temp_thermal

Howdy,

I'm running:
Linux box0 3.12.13-gentoo #2 SMP Sat Mar 29 22:38:01 EET 2014 i686
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

My '/var/log/rc.log' says:
 * Loading module x86_pkg_temp_thermal ...
 * Failed to load x86_pkg_temp_thermal
 [ !! ]

'modprobe x86_pkg_temp_thermal' says:

I found 'CONFIG_X86_PKG_TEMP_THERMAL=m' in .config for my current kernel
only.

Does the output above mean that my CPU doesn't support this feature, and
as such should be disabled in my kernel config?

Thanks.
