Curiously, I have found 3 unrelated things that broke. In each case, I have recompiled any code I believe remotely responsible. 1) atacontrol reinit 1 This command used to recognise the hot plug of my CDROM into my laptop bay. It now recognises that something is there, but can get no version string from the probe and definately doesn't recognise the drive. I suspect this is actually somehow related to ACPI ... as the hot-swapability of the drive bay has depended on acpi.ko being loaded in the past. 2) cdparanoia and USB CDROM. The same cdrom drive can be used in an external bay that is connected via USB (when the device is internal, it connects to an ATAPI bus). When external, cdparanoia will not recognise the drive... even though it claims to understand scsi cdroms. This one is likely not ACPI related. 3) IRDA and ircomm. I have traditionally used ircomm -Y -d /dev/cuaa1 to talk to my palm pilot. After the upgrade to -CURRENT, ircomm exits immediately without establishing a connection and without any diagnostics. The IR port still probes fine ... and the palm sees something ... I think but I'm not sure. It behaves differently than when there is no connection at all. Palm connections over USB seem fine.
