I'm now under Windows (my mom uses Windows only, I use Linux as a hobby, I use "GNU/Windows": Windows + GNU programs like GIMP, Mozilla, OOo, etc., well, and Winamp. But I burned Fedora with cdrecord! ;) ) and looked at my Linux partition with explore2fs: There is no /etc/init.d folder! Could it be mounted at systemstartup? Could it be a symlink? I think symlinks are not supported by explore2fs. Oh, yeah. There it is. It's a 'file' in explore2fs. But under properties I see where it links to (/etc/rc.d/initd).
Ok, I don't have a /etc/init.d/hotplug (or /etc/rc.d/init.d/hotplug). But I have a /etc/hotplug/ and /etc/hotplug.d/, but there are only configurations stored, no hotplug script. And Fedoras deamon manager dosn't list hotplug, so far I remember (don't want to reboot now). Strange. But hotplug works. Strange, strange, strange. Next time I boot Linux, I first shutdown the PC completly and boot then, to see if it really was the reason, why it worked. Duncan Sands wrote: > Hi Panzi, > > >>I have a problem with the firmware.
