this morning, i started from scratch, re-installed the red hat 2.4.20-2.2 kernel source, did a "make mrproper", used the config file configs/*i686.config as a starting point, did "make oldconfig" and built a new kernel and modules. IOW, right out of the box, no custom configuration. when i rebooted using this new kernel, i had no USB hotplug support. in the previous (shipped) 2.4.18 kernel, whenever i would plug in a USB device, i'd get verification in two places: 1) the tail of /var/log/messages 2) the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices under the rebuilt 2.4.20 kernel, nothing in either place. i've verified that the stock config file has HOTPLUG support configured in, but not PCI hotplug support, which is listed as experimental, and i don't need that for USB hotplug, do i? i'm open to suggestions. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
