Thanks for the link.

To me it means, it is not related to my main problem - no i8k.ko module 
to use. Thus it becomes out of my concern.

I'm really not sure this bug is related to my problem with i8k.ko. 

You see, in my case, it is not that i8k.ko module are failing reporting 
an error.  In my case i8k.ko module cannot be found at all in the 
location it DOES exists. 

For me the most puzzling is the output of modprobe command. Which looks 
for the i8k.ko module not in the indicated directory but in not existing 
one instead. Remember "dash" vs. "underscore" in the path name of my 
original post?
