Description Volkmar Glauche 2004-10-20 23:29:56 UTC
Since the /etc/init.d/hotplug script has changed to doing nothing at startup, only usbcore (without the needed host controller module) will be inserted at boot time and (therefore?) /sbin/hotplug does not handle usb hotplug events.
Proposed resolution:
Add a "post-install usbcore" directive to /etc/modules.d/usb which will load the appropriate module.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2004-10-21 00:03:46 UTC
try emerging coldplug
Comment 2 Volkmar Glauche 2004-10-21 00:08:44 UTC
That would work for devices to be initialised at boot time, true. But I shouldn't need coldplug to have access to things like USB memory sticks or USB zip drives which I want to hotplug during runtime, right?
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-10-21 08:18:53 UTC
