Slackware 11-0. Kernel 2.4.33.3. P4 processor. White box. Motherboard has 2 PCI slots. Installed two cards . Boot hangs while executing rc.hotplug (Did a whole bunch of stuff to diagnose.) The problem was that inserting any card in the 2nd PCI slot caused hotplug to hang. The card otherwise works (as long as I don't run hotplug). I could send the new box back as a DOA but instead I simply # cd /etc/hotplug # mv pci.rc pci.rc-disabled And I'm up and running.
