bad acpi support, unduely scary warning.

[john e]

quick catch-up fron ubuntu-devel:
{
 [4294671.197000] irq9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpool" option
.....more....
 disabling irq9
 fatal: error inserting fan nsd //(nsd was a abreviation I thought
would would be easy to remember.. nope )

}
{
> fatal: error inserting fan (.../fan.ko)

Fan control probably won't apply unless this is a laptop/recent-desktop.
Perhaps the 'FATAL!!!' should be toned down.
}

My (old-ish desktop) computer doesn't play well with acpi sometimes (at least colony 4
boots though, some distros don't)

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

initramfs should probably /dev/null the output from loading fan and thermal -
alternatively, it should only attempt to load them if acpi has initialised. The
fact that acpi is broken on your system is a bit more awkward, but by the looks
of it there's little we can do.

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Is this still an issue?
