I recently moved to kernel 2.6.9 compiling a new system from scratch every in my all my gentoo linux notebook.
Now I'm sure I enabled the usb stuff in the kernel and compiled and installed hotplug according to the instructions in the handbook. The weird fact is that, even though the usbfs filesystem is mounted according to tle log file, when I insert a usb device nothing seems to happen and no sign of a new usb device is detected in messages.log. The directory /proc/bus/usb is completely empty. Besides, while hotplug under the 2.4 kernel was quite talkative, now if I issue "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart" it stops and starts without saying anything but only OKs. At the same time "/etc/init.d/hotplug status" gives "started". WShat's going on and what should I do? Vittorio -- [email protected] mailing list
