Well, yeah. But what does this have to do with the hotplug scripts?
I even see in the rc.sysinit that I have (RedHat 7.0 on an alpha)
that various USB modules are loaded in order to get HID working.
That's fine.
The /etc/rc.d/init.d/hotplug script is called much later. It then
synthesizes add events for all the devices that were loaded earlier,
in case it missed interesting hotplug events.

No?
icarus.com[1] % rpm -qf rc.sysinit
initscripts-5.49-1
Contains...
# Remount the root filesystem read-write.
action "Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: " mount -n -o remount,rw /
/etc/inittab contains:
# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
The /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S01hotplug script is then called with run-level 3
scripts are called. This is supposed to "enable" hotplug, which is
managed by the synthesis I described above.
No?
