hotplug usb problem
Hello! I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.4.6 to 2.6.13, using the pre-compiled kernel from the slackware 10.2 cd's.
Everything went fine, except that my hotplug is still not working. I have read every post for weeks now, and I am still not any smarter. I can't figure out why it doesn't work.
I can see udevd running in the kde system guard, but when turning on a usb harddrive no "usb-storage" comes up in there.
The "/var/log/hotplug" directory is not present
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is also not present as well as
/sbin/hotplug
I am running:
hotplug-2004_09_23-noarch-
udev-064-i486-2
thank you!

Yes, I have gone through many of those pages %)
"modprobe alone or "modprobe usb" doesn't return anything, what are the modules I am looking for?
$ ls -l /var/lock/subsys/hotplug
/usr/bin/ls: /var/lock/subsys/hotplug: No such file or directory
On the CD's I can't find anything "hotplug"..

So the modules are not loaded... where are they, and how can I load them?
I have never done this b4, I am lost!
thanks!

Is it possible at all to start them with the modprobe command ?
