The short of it: hotplug appears not to work after I exit runlevel 1 (let's say by typing Ctrl-D after invoking "init 1"). None of the USB devices I plug in are recognized.
I have to issue an "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart" to get hotplug back into working order. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
