Hello,

I'm searching for help!

Each time rc.hotpug is started, my laptop ( hp nx9005 ) freezes with
no error message. :cry:

Is it a common problem.

thx

so? disable hotplug. boot from a rescue or live disk (even the install cd
will do, i think) mount your root partition and unset the executable bit on
rc.hotplug.

since when is vi an editor? a discussion on vi belongs in
comp.tools.unusable or something... ;-)

It seems to happen every so often. One way to get round this is to
disble rc.hotplug. Here's a paraphased quote from Message-ID:
<pan.2003.09.16.10.21.53.921449@desktop.local>

| Try booting from the install CD, switch to another tty, then:
| mount /dev/XXX /mnt
| chmod -x /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug
| umount /mnt
| reboot

| If that works, find out which module appears to be causing the reboot,
| put the module-name in '/etc/hotplug/blacklist' and be a happy camper.

(Thanks menno).

If you're a new user, and have just installed 9.1, you may find it
easier to redo the install, making sure to answer no when you're asked
if you want to enable hotplug support.

Use the Slackware Live CD to boot the system and at the lilo boot
prompt type

linux nohotplug

When the system boots check your system error messages to see what
module hotplug hung on and list it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist so
hotplug won't try to load it. Then reboot. Repeat until you find all
the modules hotplug is having trouble loading.

Note:laptops often have non standard hardware. Check the online Linux
laptop sites for specific info on your laptop.

Thank you a lot !
