Hi,

Iam working with an older kernel 2.6.12 and am seeing some issues when trying to use usb hotplug
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is turned on in the kernel. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug shows /sbin/hotplug.
The device comes up as /dev/sda when hotplugging it and I can mount it manually

However when trying to automate the mount, it looks like /sbin/hotplug is not getting executed. The script has some echo statements and runs ok from command line.
The return value from call_usermodehelper() which calls /sbin/hotplug is 0.

Any clues what could be causing the hotplug script to be not executed?
thanks

SuSE takes a brake during boot up to let udev settle. Maybe your script just comes too fast, after all the boot process is in the process of getting parallelized and threaded. Try to start it a little later.
