Or maybe it is auto-loaded by now. In the former case, you must find a distribution-specific way to prevent the module from loading. In the latter case you have to blacklist the driver, usually by adding "blacklist thermal" in any file under /etc/modprobe.d. That being said, you should only do that if ACPI doesn't take care of thermal management on your system. It usually doesn't on desktop and does on laptops, but YMMV. -- Jean Delvare
