hey michael, I was just going to write you back... I've got things working too, though by a different route. I had to do the following: in /etc/fstab, take out the following lines (and I don't know how these got there, probably some experimenting long ago): usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 with: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 my problem, I guess, was twofold: -the usb filesystem wasn't mounting in /proc, so hotplug couldn't find any of the devices; and -the /sys filesystem wasn't mounting either, so udev couldn't find the hard disks. then also apt-get install --reinstall hotplug, and voila! everything works. am beginning to experiment with udev and am loving it... matt -------------------------- .''`.
