Hi,
Whenever I boot into 2.6.28_rc8, the following line is printed(probably
by modprobe triggered by udev) to the console:
FATAL: Error inserting hid_dummy
(/lib/modules/2.6.28_rc8-114/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-dummy.ko):
Input/output error
No signs of error on dmesg output? Any ideas that can help or debug the
issue?
Regards,

Hi, the error is non-fatal in this case, in addition, it's intentional. The
module is there only for dependency loading and kills itself by returning the
error from load function to not eat resources any further after it does its job.
The module will be removed completely in next few releases.

Hi,
In fact, this was probably caused by CONFIG_HID_COMPAT=y which was
loading all the hid_* modules(20~ or so) into the kernel. I disabled it
and now the message has gone.
Thanks,
