Curiosity here.   Tail -f /var/log/messages.  On my box with hotplug
running if I insert any CardBus pcmcia card or usb device, it attempts
to reload everything on the PCI bus.  (compaq Armada M700) Of course
since VGA and sound are already loaded it doesn't work.  It also
attempts to load uhci (which is replaced by usb-uhci) which is
"blacklisted" end result is that either nothing happens or in the case
of my USB camera it shuts down.  The same camera works fine on my 9.0
desktop btw.  Could the same thing be happening here?
