When I look at

dmesg |grep -i hotplug

I get

/*
cpci_hotplug: CompactPCI Hot Plug Core version: 0.2
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5
*/

When I do '/etc/init.d/hotplug start' or '[same thing] stop'
I get no problems: I get the '[OK]' indicator that Ubuntu
normally gives.

When I do 'lsmod |grep -i plug', I get

pci_hotplug            33680  2 shpchp,pciehp

Finally, checking the contents of /var/log/syslog for
anything matching 'hotplug' returns the same lines that
dmesg gives.

What happens when you do those things?

What prompted you to check whether hotplug was working? Are
you having troubles with USB devices?
