Hi, I have Found this issue on: o f7 + kernel-2.6.23 (last from development) o f8t3 + up to date (then kernel-2.6.23) In this 2 Scenarios My USB KEY for software protection not work. On f7 + standard kernel my key work ok (see strace 1), if I install last kernel from updates (or I use f8t3) my key not work (see strace-2) Someone can suggest me some work around ... or this is a issue of new version of kernel? Many thanks. strace-1: > 4243 execve("./testskey", ["./testskey"], [/* 26 vars */]) = 0 > 4243 brk(0) = 0x8daf000 > 4243 access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) >
