As an update to this....
I just did an apt-get upgrade this morning and a new hotplug package
version was installed. I was booted into the 2.6.8 kernel at the time and
decided to do an "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart". Wonder of wonders! With
the new version of hotplug it restarted successfully and loaded both my
printer and scanner.
I thought that was great so I rebooted to see if this would work from at
boot time and my system hung again. After I had to hit the manual reset
switch to get out of that I couldn't restart hotplug at all after booting
into the system. I figured it got corrupted because of just having to
power off the system so I uninstalled it, rebooted to completely reset the
system environment, reinstalled hotplug, and once again my printer and
scanner are working under the 2.6.8 kernel. Sure wish I could boot up
with them installed but at least I can use them with this kernel now.
encouraging, but I'll wait till it Just Works(r) <g>. In a similar vein,
I have to restart cups if my parallel printer is turned on before boot; my
camera (Canon A75), which worked perfectly a week ago, is MIA- lsusb sees
it, ghoto2 feigns ignorance. Thank goodness for weekends...
BTW, are you using a usb keyboard? the "send message" key seems to be
stuck <ducking>
