Hi Bozza, Blacklisting will disable the loading of the modules you specify i.e. they will not be loaded automagically and the dependent hardware will NOT work if there aren't any replacement modules. Of course this is not funny but it will help you to determine if the specified module is the metaphorical "sand in the engine" ;-)
To give you an idea what modules have been loaded on your machine type: lsmod | less this is, of course, a very long list so type : lsmod | grep 7134 | less now you see the modules of the saa 7134 driver So, now we are going to check what has been blacklisted already: less /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Got the idea ? ;-) Now start editing: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and enter the following lines: #this line is comment but will keep reminding me why i do the following stuff for my TV card blacklist saa7134 now save it en reboot, Happy Hacking ;-) -- [hardy][2.6.24-15] Failed to initialize HAL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
