I'm getting this error in the log file on a regular basis --
linux modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting sonypi(lib/modules/2.6.11.4-29.9-default/kernel/drivers/char/sonypi.k0): No such device [...] He seemed to be saying that that was the solution. In my modprobe.conf, I have two entries referencing sonypi (though not sonypi.so). They are
alias char-major-10-250 sonypi options sonypi minor=250
Should I comment out these two lines? Is it really that simple?
Probably it then will start complaining about a missing "char-major-10-250" module - if all this is caused by the kernel's auto module loading feature. But there's nothing wrong with just trying it out... But I have no idea what can cause this as c-10-250 is reserved for "private use" (see kernel/Documentation/devices.txt). You didn't tell us anything about your hardware - you're pretty sure there's no PI made by sony in your computer? It probably isn't if it's not a notebook, though... -hwh
