[DONE]Unknown hardware module

Postby mackowiakp » Aug 25th, '16, 17:57

I use in my PC Intel processor 6 core (12 treads) type i7-5930K and X99 chipset. MCC hardware list, shows some processor and chipset related modules as unknown, without software module servicing its. Please look to the attached screen shot. Notice that all Xenon E7.... and C610/X99... hardware parts, does not have associated any software module. Is it normal or it is necessary to add in for example modprobe preload?

unknown is usually displayed when there is no separate module for those, e.g. when the support is in-kernel itself.

OK. That's what I thought. Because processor and chipset handlers must be ex definitione in the kernel
