No, Collins, the Redhat init scripts I use seem to be ok.
But your suspicion put me on the right track. Inspecting rc.sysinit a 
little closer I found a sequence where hotplugging is set, but on my 
system there was no file /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug which should be there.
So all I had to do was a little twist in the kernel config file:

CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y

Now it's hotplugging time again!
