Firewire/USB hotplug problems

The modules are loaded. The only problem are the mountpoints and the fstab file. The devices (both Firewire and USB) are working fine. After installing the system (without any updates) the devices are recognised automatically and mountpoints are created. After updates I have to create mountpoint and entry in the fstab manually. I don't remember the update after the problem emerged, but it could have been a kernel update. Am Mittwoch, 22. September 2004 13:27 schrieb Peter Dalgaard:

after a few YOUs there is a problem with the automount or hotplug. Don't know why, the systems can't detect Firewire/USB-devices by itself.

This happens if the kernel got upgraded and you didn't reboot - the old kernel is still running and tries to load modules from (say) /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.104-smp but the whole directory was replaced with /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.108-smp. Could that be it?
