I don't have one ;-)

This was not actually a bug report. It's just my general feeling
of hotplugging devices in linux. It just doesn't work as good as
in other OS's. I.e my usb joystick is not correctly attached to
the system (see other post - joydev). The hotplug scripts did
never lock up. What really got me angry was a stupid bug in the
ieee1394 driver that caused a kernel panic because i unplugged my
iPod in the wrong moment causing the whole! root partition to go
nuts. Even the journal was corrupt forcing me to reinstall the
whole system. Luckily i always have a seperate partiton for
/home so my personal data was not affected by the crash.
This is related to linux hotplugging but not directly to your
work. The last time I experienced such a behaviour was with
Windows 95. In my personal opinion Linux has lost LOTS of its
stability with the 2.4 kernel. I really hope that this will
change with the 2.6 release.
