Trying to use a hot pluggable hard drive over a firewire interface using the scsi subsystem, I get these messages in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages

Jun 2 08:44:29 gestalt /etc/hotplug/ieee1394.agent: ... no drivers for IEEE1394 product 0x000000/0x00609e/0x010483

Jun 2 08:44:29 gestalt /sbin/hotplug: no runnable /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent is installed

Jun 2 08:44:30 gestalt /sbin/hotplug: no runnable /etc/hotplug/block.agent is installed

Ehhhh.... Ok?????

And what is that you want help with?

Not much we can do unless we know how your kernel has been configured and which modules have been loaded at the time of the error.

Also, there is no information about which SCSI controller you are using, what kind of hot-pluggable disksystem this is, etc...

I'm sorry, based on the information you provided all I can say is: Ok, you have a problem, but I can't help you based on that information.

Ok yes, I need to look at those drivers.

But more importantly, isn't the complete lack of "scsi.agent" and "block.agent" pretty serious? Is there a more uptodate version of the hotplug package that has these missing files?

actually the hotplug in unstable tree is a more fresh release - it has the scsi.agent script too.
