Are you sure it is compiled in the kernel, i.e., did you modify the fai-kernels-source and install the new kernel-package? Does the resulting config-??? file contain CONFIG_??? ? AFAIK there is no such magic file, the kernel will try all drivers. Thus one of the above steps might be incomplete... HTH, Michael
