I use RHFC3 kernel binary. I checked rc.sysinit in RHFC3, it loads all the
modules, does it need to be done? I think the hotplug should do it when
neccessary. I found it by call "exit 0" before it prints "Init hardware" and
after it. The hotplug starts working after Init hardware ( which all the
modules have been loaded ), don't understand.
and Then I tried to modprobe usb-storage, and sd_mod module, and then try
hotplug, it doesn't work.

I typed in, so it is a typo.
