Sorry if this has been covered already, but I'm just looking at the page
7.4. Device and Module Handling on an LFS System in Linux From Scratch -
Version 6.1-testing-20050401 Chapter 7. Setting Up System Bootscripts
It has a section 7.4.3. Handling Hotpluggable/Dynamic Devices which says
If building a system that has a lot of drivers compiled as modules
rather than directly built into the kernel, using the S05modules may not
be practical. The Hotplug package (see
http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/) can be beneficial in these cases.
When the Hotplug package is installed, it will respond to the
aforementioned kernel's bus driver hotplug events. The Hotplug package
will load the appropriate module and make this device available by
creating the device node(s) for it.
But hotplug is included and installed in the book so that passage should
probably be re-worded?
Definitely. I'll make a note of it, thanks for the report Andrew.
