Ah! This is interesting, considering that the upgrade to Etch
eliminated hotplug. The actual upgrade process told me that
udev supercedes hotplug and that hotplug should be purged, which
I did.
I understand the need for backwards compatibility, but this has
made for a pretty big mess with the problem at hand. There are
configuration files in /etc/modutils, /etc/modprobe.d, /etc/discover,
/etc/discover-2.6, /etc/hotplug, /etc/udev and who knows where else.
Is this being cleaned up in sid?
In any case, thanks for taking the time to answer. As indicated
in other sub-threads, I solved the problem by eliminating the
offending driver from the kernel config and rebuilding it.
