Hi,

I'm running Debian sid with kernel 267 (problem happens with 268 too). If I have udev installed and running, my olympus d230 usb camera is not always recognised when I plug it in. It's intermittent, it has only ever been recognised once. If I remove udev and reboot, the camera is always recognised and available via one of the sd device nodes.

This was logged when I plugged the camera in hence why I've sent this email:

syslog:Oct 11 22:15:50 tranquillitatis wait_for_sysfs[5506]: error: wait_for_sysfs needs an update to handle the device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.2/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0' properly, please report to <linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>


This is what is logged to /var/log/messages:

Prior to installing udev this is what would happen:
