What version of 2.4 are you using? 2.4.18 I just had a closer look at it. The message doesn't appear at startup, but nevertheless, the effect is the same: If I do "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart", then I get the following message: umount: /proc/bus/usb: not mounted I digged a bit into the hotplug scripts and found that in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc the usbdevfs gets mounted. And afterwards the script checks whether devices are present and if not, unmounts it again. And this fails. So I come to the conclusion that the mounting of usbdevfs fails in the first place. But I can't see why. Doing it by hand suceeds. Any ideas?
