I'm reassigning this report to upgrade-reports for now as this is certainly not an installation issue. First thing that needs to be done here is to find out the actual issue. Possible candidates are the kernel, udev or sysconfig-hardware. I suspect the last. Robert: please see the following bug report [1] and check if changing '#!/bin/sh' to '#!/bin/bash' in /sbin/hwup and /sbin/hwdown fixes the issue. You'll probably have to reboot after making the change for it to take effect. Did you change the default shell from bash to dash during the upgrade? Bastian: any chance of an upload of sysconfig-hardware to fix this? I reported the issue 2 months ago...
