I'm aware of that, but the consequense of a HAL detection is that it 
loads the wrong kernel module.
Is there a way to verify that HAL is without fail here, what I mean is; 
can I verify that HAL really detects the correct hardware?

I'm not used to look around HAL since it has always worked for me.
