So... why don't you post *this* dmesg: First boot the computer. Then change the kernel debug level so to get every output possible. Then insert the module. This dmesg is of some interest, not the previous one. A couple of things you can test: 1. If your module is getting loaded when the device is plugged, then udev must be running. I suggest you to turn it off, just to remove it from the equation. Once you do this, you'll have to load module manually. 2. Also modprobe maybe handling dependencies. To check this you can do: $ modprobe -v em28xx 3. You can try *not* to use modprobe. So start fresh (from boot) and load with insmod providing full path, like this: $ insmod /lib/modules/3.3.0-rc3-athlon-full-preempt-gentoo+/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.ko Probably you'll bump into unknown symbol errors. You can see them with dmesg. Hope it helps, Ezequiel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
