My wild guess would be that the module is not correctly compiled for the
running kernel and/or the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep (generated by
depmod) is corrupted and it's not loading some prerequisite.
I guess you are right.
I compiled the freshest rc5 vanilla kernel and it worked like a charm.
only question left is what is this 8250_pci ? is the serial port in my laptop
actually attached to the PCI bus ? and what is 8250_pnp ?
Thank You.
