I have an DELL inspiron 530 and I get this error message in my dmesg
log
[ 3.753349] i8k: unable to get SMM Dell signature
I can load the module via
sudo modprobe i8k force=1
How can I do that when the system boots?

are shown. However, as you've verified inlsmod
, the module did load. Is the behavior of the sensors and fans as expected, suggesting thati8k
is working correctly? – chili555 Jul 19 '15 at 14:50
