Subject: root_plug questions under 2.6.5rc2-mm2

Hi,

When trying 'modprobe root_plug vendor_id=xxxx product_id=yyyy' on a
workable usb storage device, I get all commands locked (which should
appear when I remove it) ... I also get 'cannot execute /sbin/mingetty'
from new console login tries then 'respawning too fast, disabled for 5
minutes' ....

Someone could help me ?

PS :I'm not subscribed to lkml.

Regards,
Fabian

/sbin/mingetty isn't running because it's a command as well.

Can you try with root_plug.debug=1 (or add debug=1 to the modprobe)
so we get some debugging messages back?
