Re: kernel module i8k.ko - laptop fan control - help needed!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reply.

What does syslog say, i.e.
dmesg | grep i8k

I have a Dell Latitude and:
dmesg | grep i8k
i8k: unable to get SMM BIOS version

In my case the dmesg output is the same. But this doesn't stop i8k from loading even without "force=1".

Also have a look at
modinfo i8k

Although I haven't "played" with any of the options.

None of the options seems to be relevant. One can force loading without recognition of supported models but cannot force supporting unsupported ones :(

Best,
V
