You're right, it _can_ be done by synthesizing hotpluf events from the initscripts. In fact, that's how it must be done. It simply seems nicer to have just one way of doing things, IMO. But you still will need to special-case things which are required to get a successful boot. I confess I haven't thought about this too hard. _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
