For what it's worth... I find usb hotplug impossible to do wiht the 2.4.x kernel, and it happens automagically with the 2.6.x kernel.
IF there is nothing stopping you from using a 2.6.x kernel just apt-get install <2.6 kernel you need> and there you have it. GRUB will show both kernels at boot time BTW.. To check your current kernel ls -l /lib/modules To find the kernels avaliable apt-cache search kernel-image |grep 2.6 > Hey everyone, > > I'll admit my knowledge in the hotplug department isn't spectacular. > > Currently I have a machine setup to run a script when a specific USB flash > drive is inserted.
