Hull were left looking for their first point of the season after two controversial goals gave Derby victory at the KC Stadium.
Matthew Oakley looked to be offside as he latched on to Tommy Smith's flick to fire Derby ahead.
Paul Boertien's rash challenge on Craig Fagan allowed Jon Parkin to score his third goal of the season from the spot.
Derby regained the lead from Tommy Smith's penalty awarded after Giles Barnes' cross struck Andy Dawson's arm.
Hull had offered little threat but levelled in first-half injury time, as Boertien needlessly clipped Fagan to give Parkin the chance to score from the spot.
Hull improved after the break and were enjoying their best spell when they were undone by the same linesman who ruled Oakley was onside.
He signalled a penalty but there seemed little intent by Dawson to handle Barnes' cross, and Hull keeper Boaz Myhill almost saved Smith's penalty.
Parkin had a chance to snatch a point for Hull in stoppage time but delayed his shot six yards out and was closed down.
Hull manager Phil Parkinson: "An inexperienced linesman cost us the game with two ridiculous decisions.
"For their first goal, Matthew Oakley looked offside from where I was sat, and I don't how he can say the second one was a penalty.
"I have a group of players in the dressing room who have given everything today but feel cheated."
Derby boss Billy Davies: "I don't think we played particularly well and we were careless in giving the ball away at times.
"We gave away a stupid penalty just before half time and that put Hull on the front foot.
"The lads told me they thought our winner was a penalty, although I would like to see it again."
