cannot execute /sbin/hotplug

["mon k" <monk576@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Iam working with an older kernel 2.6.12 and am seeing some issues when trying to use usb hotplug
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is turned on in the kernel. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug shows /sbin/hotplug. The device comes up as /dev/sda and I can mount it manually

However it looks like /sbin/hotplug is not getting executed. The script has some echo statements and runs ok from command line.

The return value from call_usermodehelper() which calls /sbin/hotplug is 0.

Any clues what could be causing the hotplug script to be not executed?

thanks
