[SOLVED] Loading kernel module error
Recently i installed LTS kernel and i faced this Message while loading "Loading kernel module error"
then i have traced the problem and found this (Failed to insert 'tp_smapi': No such device)
actually tp_smapi is required by acpi_call and these two libs dependencies of tlp so i removed tlp to git rid of this problem and nothing happened.

Re: [SOLVED] Loading kernel module error
You removed tlp, ok. And what about acpi_call and tp_smapi? If you just ran 'pacman -R tlp' they don't get touched at all.

Re: [SOLVED] Loading kernel module error
Okay. /usr/lib/modules-load.d/tp_smapi.conf doesn't exist anymore?
Do your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf HOOKS include "modconf"?
If so, run 'mkinitcpio -P' and after the next reboot the message should be gone.

Re: [SOLVED] Loading kernel module error
Packages (or you) can put files in {/etc,/usr/lib}/mod{probe,ules-load}.d to automatically load or blacklist kernel modules or set special options for them.
The modconf hook makes sure that those modifications also get copied into the initramfs (where they no longer belong to any package), so they can be applied as soon as possible into the boot process.
And the initramfs normally only gets rebuilt on updates for the kernel (linux, linux-lts..) package.

Re: [SOLVED] Loading kernel module error
Hi,
the message is just a warning. No harm done.
On which ThinkPad model exactly does this happen? I suggest to reinstall tlp and show the output of:
tlp-stat -s -bBtw: tp-smapi is not required by acpi-call. Both packages are just a means to access ThinkPad battery functions. tp-smapi for older models, acpi-call for newer. Neither of them is a hard dependency of tlp, just optional.
