However, after sending my question to the list, I decided just upgrading to 2.6.17-2 might solve my issues, and it did. So I assume udev did the magic, once it had a kernel recent enough to work with. (I've never figured out the relationships between udev, discover, hotplug and maybe a couple others that don't quite come to mind at the moment.) -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
