on boot, I get the following error with a 2.6.1(-mm1) kernel : /etc/hotplug/usb.agent:line 216: 09: value too great for base (error token is 09) I also get the following error on tty1 after boot : cat /sys/devices/platform/host2/2:0:0:0/type: No such file or directory I never got these errors with the 2.6.1-release_candidates. I emerged the newer (masked) hotplug (20040105) and the errors went away however, my iPod doesn't work properly with hotplug-20040105; specificall, the /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 devices do not get created when I load the modules (ohci1394, and sbp2) for it. Please let me know if there is any more information that you require. Thanks.

Okay, change the "=" in lines 216, 217 and 218 to "=0x". Please confirm that that works and we'll commit this in.
Ok, I changed those 3 lines, and the boot up is fine now but I'm still getting the cat error on TTY1... at /sys/devices/platform/host2/2:0:0:0/type: No such file or directory Seems like it appears after I plug the iPod in.
confirmed, the cat error appears when the iPod is connected. (ohci1394 gets loaded when the iPod is plugged in) i upgraded to 2.6.1-mm2 and the error still occurs with that kernel as well.
just upgraded to 2.6.1-mm3 - same problem with the "cat" error on TTY1: cat /sys/devices/platform/host2/2:0:0:0/type: No such file or directory
ok the origianl fix worked, and the other bugs were totally caused by the kernel. further investigation showed that 2.6.1-vanilla did not cause the error nor does 2.6.1-mm5 but all previous 2.6.1-mm series did. you can close this.
I am still getting errors when pluggin in the iPod and loading the sbp2/ohci1394/sd_mod modules for it. on TTY0 cat: //sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:ie.0/0000:02:0a.2/fw-host0/00a2700020a6aa0/00a2700020abaa0-0/host6/g:0:0:0/type : no such file or directory I looked in the /sys directory and the "00a27" bits should be "000a27" - as well, none of the path that is erroring exists past the 000a2700020abaa0-0 part, i.e. "/host6:0:0:0/type" does not exist.
known bug in upstream package.
Should be fixed in the 2004_03_29 release
