Did you try loading this original i8k driver? Did it work? What are the
contents of /proc/i8k then?
[testing with original "i8k" module]
(1) Removed new "i8k" module from /lib/modules tree
(2) Checked "/proc/i8k". No such file or directory
(3) Copied original "i8k" module back to it's location in:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/char
(4) Ran "depmod -a"
(5) Rebooted PC to obtain known stable state
After reboot...
(6) Checked "/proc/i8k". No such file or directory
(7) Checked "lsmod". "i8k" is not loaded
(8) Attempted to load original "i8k" but it crashed.
Crash output is attached.
(9) Rechecked "/proc/i8k". No such file or directory
(10) Rebooted PC to return to known stable state
This means that my changes aren't responsible for the crash, nor is the
fact of building the driver standalone. So I will leave it to the
Fedora kernel maintainers to resolve, if you care and if they are
interested.
I agree with your comments.
