Well, it *should* work with a standard Debian kernel and applicable
hardware.

​Perhaps you could suggest some other module names I could try to turn on using

the modprobe command that I do not have turned on at present based on the lsmod output.

​Maybe one or to might work.

Your "No such device" error sounds like it probed for hardware and didn't
find any.  If the module itself were missing from the file system, then
I would have expected "FATAL: Module coretemp not found in directory ...".

It says "Intel" in the description.  Are you using an Intel CPU?
