Incidentally, and further to my last e-mail... In the time period I referred to the kernel on the affected box had *not* changed, just the hotplug package.
It isn't just a kernel problem and it is a very real and serious problem. Just saying it's someone else's problem is no help at all and will not fix it. Regards, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
