You wasted your time... Hotplug is obsolete and you will not find it in modern distributions. Maps are obsolete too, nowadays drivers are loaded using udev and $MODALIAS. The first step to correctly fix this is to design an aliases scheme and then add the aliases to the drivers. I am not sure if it would be appropriate for the kernel to generate an uevent for every node of the ACPI namespace tree, if not you would need to walk it with a script, synthesize the $MODALIAS value and run modprobe for every node. Both ways look a bit expensive to me since modprobe would be forked tens of times. -- ciao, Marco ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
