Hotplug crashes on boot on Acer TM 4400, Ubuntu Hoary
Hello everybody,
I have installed Ubuntu Hoary on my Acer Travelmate 4401LMi, with Ubuntu booting from an external usb2 hard drive. I have solved all the usb booting problems, but now the system crashes when Ubuntu tries to boot and says 'Initializing hotplug subsystem...'.
Any ideas how I could fix this? If I remove the /etc/hotplug folder, then the system boots fine, but obviously I can't use my usb mouse (and the touchpad won't work). All I need to do is find a way of debugging the hotplug initialization so that I can blacklist the appropriate module, but the hotplug system is really poorly documented, and after a month of trying, I still can't work out how to debug it.
Any help would be really, really great guys.
