RE: [Ltib] Changes to the kernel drivers...

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Pablo,

You should use the mailing list.

If your kernel got built, you need to be sure that the one you tftp load
is the one you re-built.  You can probably check this with uname -a and
look at the build time (or look at the boot messages).  If this is the
right kernel, then you need to investigate your driver (printk?)

Regards, Stuart
