Details

For newer kernels, hotplug events don't reach hal in the correct order anymore. Newer kernels should have /sbin/udevsend as hotplug multiplexer in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug.

Adding this code to /etc/start_udev puts /sbin/udevsend in the correct entry in /proc. This code should be located after udev has been started:

case "$(uname -r)" in
2.6.[0-9]|2.6.[0-9][!0-9]*) ;;
*) echo "/sbin/udevsend" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug ;;
esac

This makes sure older kernels that don't suffer this problem, but suffer from having udevstart as hotplug multiplexer, to use the old behaviour.
This task depends upon
