I hope by FC5 this will be stable and included. Correct me if I am wrong. The coldplugging seems like a birth defect in udev. The udev starts as a user process to handle kernel device notifications, but kernel fires device notifications regardless if udev is running. One could start udev as far ahead in the init process as one could to handle hotplugging. But there is always a chance coldplugging devices will be missed. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
