    On most machines running FC2 a usb disk (flash type, or external
    harddisk) just shows up when plugged in, but so far I have found on a
    couple of machines that nothing happens. No entries in the logs when
    the device gets plugged in, nothing in /proc/bus/usb/devices, and it
    makes no difference whether the usb disk is present at boot time or
    plugged in later.

    So far I have determined the following:
    - when FC1 was installed on these computers, usb disks worked without problems
    - the USB mouse is working also
    - USB modules are loaded
    - no changes in /proc/bus/usb/ or /sys/bus/usb when the device is
    plugged in or removed

    Does anyone have a suggestion what can be the problem on those
    computers? It looks like the kernel doesn't see the hotplug event on
    those systems.
