Message-Id: <4589B01E.9020204@ntlworld.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org 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=20 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=20 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=3Dy source@radhagovinda:/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.18$ but clearly this is not all there is to it. I have good reason to=20 believe it is a misfigured kernel problem, because if I boot to the=20 2.4.33.3 kernel supplied with my distro (Slackware 11.0) then everything=20 works great. Any pointers are gratefully received. I found this=20 http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/usb-admin.html which told me to enable=20 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
