From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Bill Bruce" Date: Fri, 03 May 2002 16:00:10 +0000 Subject: PCI Hot Plug Operation Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org My situation: The software base is Redhat 7.2. The kernel has been updated to 2.4.9. The user-space hot plug files/scripts dated 2002_4_1 from SourceForge have been installed. I install a PCI card in my system and power it up. It appears on the PCI bus (lspci -H1 confirms this). There is no driver for this card in the kernel, but according to my reading of the hot plug documentation I expect the /sbin/hotplug script to be invoked, giving me an opportunity to load a driver. This is not happening. Some rudimentary questions: I am assuming the kernel is periodically scanning the PCI bus, looking for new devices. Is this correct? If so how often does this happen? Do I need to install a driver for my card to make the kernel aware of a possible hot pluggable device?
