hotplug events for plugged-in devices are fired at kernel boottime,
and you have no chance to process them, since there is no mdev at
kernel boottime. You need so called coldplug helper, which replays
hotplug events you missed at kernel boottime. The simplest is to "find
/sys -name uevent | while read I; do echo add >$I; done". But this can
take time.

Try and report.
