Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-22
Severity: important
This is my third system where hotplug breaks a lot of things after
upgrading to sarge / kernel 2.4 (graphic, sound, network cards).
The problem is the coldplug mechanism which loads a lot of unnecessary
and partly wrong modules. Even worse it is bypassing the kerneld
mechanism and ignores module aliases. This coldplug mechanism should
be disabled by default and hotplug should not try to do the job of
the kerneld process (by loading modules itself). It should assign the
corresponding devices instead and let the kerneld do it's job, i.e.
load a module if it is needed by a process and not preload it at
startup.
As a simple example: I never use a joystick on my system. So why
should hotplug load a module for the joystick at startup? Only because
my soundcard has a joystick port? This wastes my memory and by the way
breaks the soundcard driver. It should instead assign the appropriate
module to a joystick device (if not already an assignment exist) and
let kerneld load the module if a process accesses the device.
Preloading all modules for the build in hardware on startup breaks one
of the advantages of the loadable module concept.
Regards, Uwe

This package has been removed from Debian unstable. I'm therefore
closing this bug report. The package has been removed because it
has been superseded by udev. It's quite unlikely that your bug still
exists in udev, but if it does, please let me know.
