Great. But, I think you should change the sdb1 to sd?1, since the
thumb drive might not be sdb on each machine, or each time you plug
it in.

I'm a retard... Changed it to sdb1 and whabam... It works as expected. Only
problem now is that the last part of the script that tells it to unmount
isn't working but that is fixable. So it seems 2.6 kernel with udev is the
solution.

Well I have since taken the complete plunge to 2.6. I was able to boot
debian by changing the fstab & grub configuration.
Ok so now I have researched on how to write udev.rules (using
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html as reference).
In the guide at the bottom it recommends doing:

OH, yea. Sata drives and Sarge 2.6 don't mix well. I've never tried Etch on
a Sata machine.
I know that some this do work with one and not the other.

I most certainly agree :-). Google is a very handy tool, however at this
point I can't use the 2.6 kernel (attempted, got a mess in return). These
machines are completely headless and basically this script is to configure
the machine for the user without plugging in a keyboard or mouse.

I should've mentioned that there is no gui. Actually these are headless
servers, which is the need for scripts.
The goal is that if someone where to stick in an USB flash drive, the OS
would launch the necessary script do its thing and then take out the USB key
5 minutes later. The script basicall

I have never done that. I know that with the 2.6 kernel (that I have on
many laptops) plug a usb device in and an icon appears on the desktop for it.
Do you want the script to autorun whe the usb device is pluged in? If so
do some googles on "auto run", there are some programs you

A script run? You mean "autorun"?

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 tim
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. I did this by defining the script and vendor ID &
product ID in the usb.handmap file (/etc/hotplug/usb.handmap). This wo
