You can apparently get help during 'make menuconfig' but not 'make *oldconfig'. That rocks. ;) Yeeh. Hah. I don't *have* a /sbin/hotplug on this udev-based Fedora box. But wait, reading the patch says that's usually during early boot. Now to figure out what /sbin/nash does with its onboard 'hotplug' command... ;) (In other words, this *really* needs some better help documentation, to explain who needs this, and who doesn't need it, and what happens if you select it and you shouldn't have, and what happens if you leave it out when you should have set it....)
