Can you check that the firmware file actually makes it to the initrd? It's just a gzipped cpio archive, you can extract it like that (in a temp directory): cp /boot/initrd-<version> initrd.gz gzip -d initrd.gz cpio -i < initrd Best regards, -- Jurij Smakov [email protected] Key: http://www.wooyd.org/pgpkey/ KeyID: C99E03CC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
