It's missing from my 9.2 --> 9.3 upgrade together with /etc/init.d/udev, but udevd is running. can anyone confirm that this is correct as I can't find them on the DVD. The admin guide page 346 says there should be a /sbin/hotplug, I only have /sbin/hotplugeventrecorder. rebuilding from source rpm udev-053-15.2, no /sbin/hotplug and I'm unable to access any USB devices.
The hotplug scheme changed in 9.3. I haven't seen the manual so I don't know what it says, but in 9.3 hotplug events are handled by udevd by default. Check out the /etc/init.d/boot.udev script. While it's started, /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is empty, since udevd steals and handles the events,. while if it's stopped that variable will have /sbin/udevsend As for your problem, which kernel modules do you have loaded? Are the USB modules loaded at all? As I mentioned in another mail, I have heard rumours of upgrades causing modules not to get loaded as they should, I'd love to get that confirmed
