I don't think that is related to your problem. > Again, thank you very much for your help, also for Andrew Bentons comments. > Yes, I compiled my driver into the kernel.

It sounds like you should try following Andrew's suggestion and build the driver as a module and not build it directly into the kernel (I have my driver built as a module). I have never installed firmwarehotplug (or heard of it for that matter), so you shouldn't need to install that. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
