Is the filesystem mounted when it tries to find the firmware? In other words, are you perhaps using a ramdisk? If you have this drives as a module, can you try removing it (rmmod <driver> and then reloading it (modprobe <driver>)? If it isn't a module, can you rebuild your kernel to have the relevant driver as a module? -- Joost
