Okay, sorry for the noise. But this would be my last post on this issue. Armed with my new bits of knowledge (udev-087 works but udev-090 doesn't), b.g.o turns up a nice collection of bugs.
Of particular interest: 119989 130766 Basically there is a change in behaviour when 089 is introduced so that it has the functionality of automatically probing for modules when it senses a device. The modules loading can be individually disabled through /etc/hotplug/blacklist When 090 is introduced it breaks some interaction with hotplug and now ignores even that blacklist. So for now... downgrade and wait I guess. Thanks, W -- "`You know they've reintroduced the death penalty for insurance company directors?' `Really?' said Arthur. `No I didn't. For what offence?'
