Xen users - Sep 2007 - Error inserting fan, Error inserting thermal

How can I get rid off this messages during a domU boot?

FATAL: Error inserting fan 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-5-xen-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting thermal 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-5-xen-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/thermal.ko): No such 
device

Not sure: remove lm_sensors from DomU, since it''s pointless there
anyway?

Yes, but how to remove?

That really, really depends on your distribution, which you haven''t
told
us. For RedHat based systems, it''s something like "rpm -e
lm_sensors".

sorry, it''s etch :-)

I''ve search for lm_sensors but I can''t find an similar
package.

server:/etc/xen# apt-cache search lm_sensors
collectd-sensors - statistics collection daemon (sensors plugin)
wmgtemp - Temperature sensor dockapp for Window Maker
wmtemp - WM dock applet displaying lm_sensors temperature values

It''s not installed by default though and is unrelated to the error 
you''re seeing - that''s part of the ACPI initialisation. 
I''ve never
tracked down what caused it (seems to be part of the kernel package), 
but it''s harmless enough.

Definitively not a Xen-related question.

For debian and many distribution, you can prevent a module to be loaded by
adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in the DomU.

echo "fan" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "thermal" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
