There were some recent buf fixes by the wonderful folks working hard on the Linux kernel; the affected areas included up to kernel version 2.6.9-rc2, so try the 2.6.10 kernel.
Now I'm sure I enabled the usb stuff in the kernel
Please provide the output of:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep "^CONFIG_USB"
and compiled and installed hotplug according to the instructions in the handbook.
Use coldplug. It's in portage. :)
The weird fact is that, even though the usbfs filesystem is mounted according to tle log file,
Maybe show us the relevant parts of the log?
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?
Your first step, I think, would be to upgrade your kernel to 2.6.10. Then repeat the steps and/or provide us with the output I mentioned above. Good luck.
