Description Simon Haynes 2004-02-16 02:40:19 UTC
hotplug-20030805-r2 works fine.  All later versions (tested up to hotplug-20040105) will reboot my computer approx 60 seconds after it displays the KDE login screen or bash login.

If I log in to a shell before my system reboots (during the 60 second window) and stop hotplug with "/etc/init.d/hotplug stop" it STILL reboots on schedule. Only booting without hotplug works with these later versions, but then of course the mouse/usb/etc doesn't. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge any version of hotplug after hotplug-20030805-r2
2. run etc-update and replace the 8 hotplug config/script files
3. restart machine.  Reboots approx 60 seconds after starting hotplug.

Actual Results:  
reboots approx 60 seconds after starting up.

Expected Results:  
Not caused a reboot

I'm not sure whether emerging hotplug-20030805-r3 or later and NOT replacing the
8 hotplug scripts will prevent this occurring. I'm about to test that now, but I
don't know for sure whether this is something smart to try.

Each time it forceably reboots I run the risk of losing data, so I'm limiting my
testing to emerging each new release of Hotplug, confirming it still doesn't
work, and then I return to 20030805-r2.  However, I would like to help fix it,
so please tell me what you need.

Should be fixed in latest release.
