No success:

$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature
cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/temperature: No such file or directory
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM1/temperature
cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM1/temperature: No such file or directory
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature
cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature: No such file or directory
$

And yes, I have meanwhile started acpi.
