Symlink was wrong because was called after / is mounted and before udev was ready to start. That was leading to propagating device nodes on readonly filesystem. I can't speak about rc-srcipts. I don't know why (cruft?) it is set by default, even when hotplug is not installed. btw. starting from linux 2.6.15 it (hotplug handler) should be set to "" -- Fryderyk Dziarmagowski "Please, just tell people to use KDE." - Linus @ GNOME Usability ml _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
