Might be userspace breakage. Note that I did rename everything in the filesystem to thinkpad_acpi.*, and the only ibm_acpi left was the one in MODULE_ALIAS. > If someone have more insight into this networks scripting I will be greatfull I am curious as to why it failed, as well. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
