12 Here's a question, then. Is there a way, after boot, to cause udev to
13 attempt to detect and load modules? Basically, is there a way to
14 emulate the old behavior of the "coldplug" init script? This would be
15 very useful for our LiveCD builds, since we've lost the ability to do
16 "nohotplug" on the command line to disable cold plugging.
