I asked some about this same issue a while back, just bumping it up to see if anyone has any insight.
I'm running Fedora Core 1, 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl, Thinkpad T40p. My daily machine is a Debian Sid machine with which hotplug has "not" been an issue when sleeping the laptop. Meaning, if I shut down hotplug via "/etc/init.d/hotplug stop" before sleeping it, I can bring it up after resume without issue. A work around I know, but I haven't gotten around to adding that functionality to my apm start scripts. t should be noted that the reason for wanting to restart it in the first place is to ensure that usb gets restarted, as the bus stops responding after sleep, even if removing and re-inserting the modules. However, in my Fedora install, hotplug doesn't appear as a service in /etc/init.d/*, and the docs I have read through point only to the individual scripts that hotplug controls (pci, usb, etc..) and not a a "global service script". Am I missing something here? /sbin/hotplug appears to be able to be used as "/sbin/hotplug DEVICE ARGUMENT" according to the manpage, but start, stop, etc appear not to be options. Any insight would be welcome here as to why there is no script in /etc/init.d, or how hotplug is intended to be stopped and started with this type of installation.
