Did you change your config between the two kernels? Perhaps the sg device is bound to the device before the sd driver is now, which caused the change you saw. Either way, if you have a very general rule, like you had, expecting it to work the same way all the time is nothing you can do, sorry. Again, make the rule a specific as you can to help prevent things like this happening in the future. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: SourceForge.net Broadband Sign-up now for SourceForge Broadband and get the fastest 6.0/768 connection for only $19.95/mo for the first 3 months! http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id%62&alloc_ida84&op=click _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
