Re: USB hotplug woes
That is beyond me I'm afraid. Hotplug usb devices are tricky somewhat even
with 2.6 if you are trying to auto run scripts associated with a hot plug
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.
Sarge 2.6 does not have MegaRaid drivers
Etch 2.6 has MegaRaid drivers!!
