Message at the end is forwarded from linux-hotplug-devel.

Basically, it means that we have three options WRT udev and hotplug.

1) Upgrade to their new way of handling things, (i.e., linux-2.6.15 + patches, new udev, new rules, no hotplug). 2) Keep everything as it is currently (i.e., linux >= 2.6.12, udev, current rules, hotplug)
3) Remove both udev and hotplug, revert to static /dev

But (1) means that we WILL break things at least for Darren Salt (i.e., make his computer unbootable--do you want this for your own system?). The "unable to wait reliably for all hotplug events" problem looks unsolvable.

(2) is not currently supported upstream, so if we choose this, we are on our own.

This leaves us with no option other than (3). Sorry for my inability to say anything else.

I've been doing that udev coldplugging for a while now with no issues at all, what's unique about Darren's setup.
