Hi, I just recompiled 2.6.12 kernel and the result was awesome. Everything booted properly with hotplug and discover in place and all the hardware was properly detected. Actually hotplug was causing problems because it could not find the required modules. I enabled them in the new kernel and everything is fine. regards, ram.
