Subject: /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug empty: how to configure kernel?
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2006 21:50:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4589B01E.9020204@ntlworld.com> (raw)
Hi all,
the subject line should say it all really. I have this problem:
rich@radhagovinda:~$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
rich@radhagovinda:~$
I know that this 'file' should contain the name of the hotplug helper
program, which on my machine is /sbin/hotplug, but it doesn't.
The kernel is an unpatched 2.6.18 kernel I configured and compiled from
source myself. I did enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG, as you can see:
source@radhagovinda:/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.18$ cat .config | grep HOTPLUG
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
source@radhagovinda:/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.18$
but clearly this is not all there is to it. I have good reason to
believe it is a misfigured kernel problem, because if I boot to the
2.4.33.3 kernel supplied with my distro (Slackware 11.0) then everything
works great.
Any pointers are gratefully received. I found this
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/usb-admin.html which told me to enable
ALL usb options as modules, but it made no difference.
Sorry for posting to the devel mailing list, but it's the only one you have.
Many thanks,
Richard.
