Unfortunately debian's 6.7 kernel doesn't have /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug :(

I guess I'll then also need to get a good /etc/mdev.conf in order to
have "mdev -s" load disk drive modules?

Is there a "standard" /etc/mdev.conf somewhere? The installer needs to
be prepared to handle "any" system as the media may reside in any kind
of disk or cdrom drive. (But the preamble only needs to be able to
load the disk modules while network and graphics etc is left for the
actual installer initrd to deal with)
