Leftover reference to hotplug package

[alexander@…]

There is a sentence on the kernel page:

Note that statements like

alias char-major-XXX some-module

in the /etc/modprobe.conf file do not work with Udev, and other aliases are often unnecessary with Hotplug.

You proably want to remove the last part and also run the following command:

grep -ir hotplug branches/testing

Alex, thanks for the report. Here's the output of grep:

chapter01/changelog.xml - obviously no changes needed. chapter06/udev.xml - the matches just seem to refer to hotplug events, which would appear OK to me. chapter07/udev.xml - again, largely mentions hotplug in the context of hotplug events. It does mention the Hotplug package, but only as a point of interest, not in the context of any particular configuration or behaviour. chapter08/kernel.xml - the only real problem I see here is the one you originally raised, although the paragraph before that mentions the Hotplug package several times. In the interest of completeness and educational value I think it's important that it remains mentioned there though, but I'm prepared to be corrected on that.

So I'll change:

"in the /etc/modprobe.conf file do not work with Udev, and other aliases are often unnecessary with Hotplug."

to:

"in the /etc/modprobe.conf file do not work with Udev"

Can you confirm this is what was intended by your original report, and that my analysis above is correct?

Thanks,

Matt.

That's exactly what I wanted to change
