Thanks for the information. However, on HLFS20060122 hotplug was not as
obsolete as I hoped it would be. At first I lacked my networkcard, due
to the missing hotplug script that is linked to in the udev script 25-core.
I thought I was smart by overwriting these old udev rules by installing
the newer udev-update-branch scripts. Now I can't even boot. /dev/hda2
can not be created. Snicker. (laugh at my haste at your leisure)
O well, live and learn they say.

Don't worry.  Everything will work.  Did you also install the new udev
bootscripts from here?

You'll need the udev and udev_retry bootscripts from there.  Look at
the Makefile how the install targets look to see the numbers given in
the runlevels.  Keep in mind that if you updated to the new udev, it
works differently than the older versions.

So, I should say that hotplug is obsolete as long as you have a newer
udev and you initialize it correctly.
