Hello,
At least in bash, both '=' and '==' work as the condition. From the
bash man page:
string1 == string2
True if the strings are equal. = may be used in place of ==
for strict POSIX compliance.
The original poster said "When I boot that system the boot stops solid
in the grep stmnt in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc line 200:
if [ ”$SYNTHESIZE” = false ]"
I'd suggest looking at the 'grep' command itself. Since I don't know
what the script looks like, this is just a guess, but if the file name
being grep'd on is provided via a variable, and the variable never got
an assignment, then the grep would be reading STDIN, which would cause
the whole process to 'hang', while 'grep' waits for input. There may be
other reasons for lack of input, but I'd wager it's 'grep' that is
causing the hang.

Hi,
Maybe someone has a suggestion here.
Problem:
In Sarge I normally run the -ck kernel patches from Con Kolivas.
He just came out with 2.6.16-ck1 and -ck2.
When I boot that system the boot stops solid in the grep stmnt in
/etc/hotplug/usb.rc line 200:

It appears like this is a bug in the script, and it should be
if ["$SYNTHESIZE" == false] (note the == instead of the =)
Thanks John and Bob for the answers.
I "solved" it by first removing hotplug and then installing udev. Now it
boots normally.
That line 200 in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc still reads ”$SYNTHESIZE” = false,
with an = and not an ==.
Why this happend, I haven't got the faintest.
The side effects of udev are (for me), an application I wrote for
writing to /dev/vcsa<x> as a replacement for vcstime now finds the
screen offset differently, and nVidia won't start.
I googled for the latter and found a number of suggestions, which I am
about to try out.
But the most important part is that 2.6.16-ck2 is up and running ;-)
