Coretemp didn't exist in the 5.4 kernel so the only way you could have 
had it working was if you've installed the driver from a 3rd party repo 
- elrepo.org maybe?

Redhat backported coretemp into el5.5 but it's still relatively old 
(from around kernel-2.6.26 IIRC), and I'm not sure it and/or lm_sensors 
in el5.5 supports i7 CPUs.

I'd suggest you try the driver (and associated lm_sensors package 
dependency) from elrepo.org:

Hope that helps.
