yesterday): no battery info, usb hotplug seems not to work. I've been
messing around all day long, but I wasn't able to figure out: my kernel is
compiled with the right things enabled, udev is ok, everything is ok. Maybe
I'm missing something, but my idea is that it has got to do with the absence
of hal.
