Your theory is correct, the GS2 VFD has to be powered up before the gs2_vfd hal driver can talk to it. If the GS2 is powered down when the gs2_vfd component is loaded, the component won't be able to talk to the VFD and will error out and refuse to start, just like you observed. I agree with John Thornton, and leave my GS2 VFD powered on all the time. It gets power from the same switch that powers on the LinuxCNC computer.
