New issue by michael-db on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/42277
Description:
### Is this a new report?
Yes
### System Info
Void 6.1.11_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrFF
### Package(s) Affected
linux6.1
### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
Not an upstream bug, but a misconfiguration resulting from a change, e.g.,
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2039030#p2039030
### Expected behaviour
`modprobe i8k` (or dell_smm_hwmon) should result in a file `i8k` appearing in `/proc`.
This is needed for the programs of the i8kutils package.
### Actual behaviour
```
i8kctl fan
can't open /proc/i8k: No such file or directory
```
### Steps to reproduce
On an x86_64 system, `xbps-install i8kutils` and `i8kctl fan`.
The cause of the problem took some time to discover, but the fix is simple. I will make a pull request.

Comment:
CPU damage could be the outcome of this bug for users with certain models of Dell laptop who have disabled BIOS fan control and don't quickly notice that the fan isn't coming on after upgrading to kernel 6.1 from an older 5.x kernel.
