Thats because noone really fixed the init call order. Its going back and forth since /init was added in 2.6.6. Ideally, there could be some /earlyinit that could prepare the enviroment for hotplug calls. Why do you need /sbin/hotplug anyway, just for firmware loading for a non-modular kernel? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
