Before I did that, the bootup hung for serveral minutes, and generated megabytes of logging about stuff it couldn't find, or even hung the boot completely. That was at least 6 months back up the log, maybe 8 or 9. Now, I've reinstalled hotplug-2004_01_05-1.noarch.rpm and hotplug-base-2004_01_05-1.noarch.rpm, and the boot is stalling on "Starting hotplug" for about a minute now, much faster than before, and my logs are filled with messages about not finding ide_probe_mod and ide_probe. Now, the interesting thing is that in my updated modprobe.conf, those module aliases are listed as ide-probe and ide-probe-mod, note switch from underscore to dash as separators???? Nothing similar can be grepped out of the kernels .config either. Which is correct, and what do I edit to fix it? >- -- >Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 > players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam I installed this and did the usbautocam add for a directory to put the pix in the camera in, but now it plays the "nopix.wav" about 30 seconds after I turn the camera on.

Of course, unless usbautocam made it, there is no /misc/usbautocam directory. No, /misc was empty, and I as root, cannot do a "mkdir /misc/usbautocam". There is such a /misc dir, but its empty. And mkdir returns a "no such file or directory" message. Call me puzzled, a whole lot... -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
