Hi Rusty, Dave, Santiago The vio devices currently don't have a modalias spec. This makes it impossible to ask udev for loading the modules. The modules already specifies a device table, which contains two values, type and compat. At least for pSeries they seems to be filed from the compatible and device_type properties in the openfirmware tree. The pSeries code checks both values, while iSeries only checks the type. As they need a complete match, the generated modalias string for them may: vio:T or vio:TC Bastian -- There is a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder. -- Spock, "A Taste of Armageddon", stardate 3193.9
