 |
|
I am about to give up on this problem i been having
Every time i boot my computer "/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug" is always empty
my ivtv modules wont load cuz it cant find the firmware
i have to echo /sbin/hotplug > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug then it works fine
hotplug is in the boot runlevel
Any ideas anyone?? I cant figure it out, im pulling out my hair here!
Thanks guys |

You probably missed this when hotplug was emerged, but a warning about this is displayed. From the ebuild:
| Code: | pkg_postinst() {
ewarn "WARNING: The hotplug init script is now gone (dead and buried)."
ewarn "WARNING: If you want to load modules for hardware that was already"
ewarn "WARNING: discovered at boot time, like the old hotplug init script"
ewarn "WARNING: did, then emerge the coldplug package, and add coldplug to"
ewarn "WARNING: a runlevel, e.g. # rc-update add coldplug boot"
echo
ewarn "WARNING: All firmware loaded by the hotplug scripts needs to be"
ewarn "WARNING: moved to the /lib/firmware directory, as the scripts now"
ewarn "WARNING: expect it to be in that location."
echo
ewarn "If you still have the file /etc/hotplug/isapnp.rc on your system,"
ewarn "please delete it by hand, the file /etc/hotplug/pnp.rc supercedes it."
} |
Hopefully this will help you.

| Apparently emerging a older version of UDEV fixes the problem. Mabey a bug in the new version? |
