I am _such_ an idiot.  When I downloaded the hotplug package, I got the
SRPM and rebuilt and intalled it.  Something must have gone wrong
somewhere because the hotplug script wasn't starting on boot anymore.  I
double-checked the SRPM, rebuild the package, reinstalled it and checked
the startup script and it's in there now...  I'm sure it was some of my
own special brain damage.

I'm very sorry for taking up your time.  Everything's working now.

/crawls back into his hole.

Thanks,
pete
