Are the modules usbcore, uhci, and/or ehci loaded before you plug in your device. I would think you would at least need uhci/ehci, or they are compiled into the kernel. There also may be some dependency on hald. I plugged a USB stick into my FC3 box and got the following in /var/log/messages: Oct 5 09:31:00 tweedy kernel: usb 1-8.4: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Oct 5 09:31:01 tweedy kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Hopefully someone else can enlighten us. BTW: All of the above is from FC3 (kernel 2.6.12-1.1378_FC3smp), and /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is [bob@tweedy kernel]$ cat hotplug /sbin/hotplug [bob@tweedy kernel]$ file /sbin/hotplug /sbin/hotplug: Bourne shell script text executable Bob...
