Notice that there is no output from udev or fstab-sync
(as there should be), so the usb drive doesn't show up
on the desktop (though I can manually mount sda1).
Why wouldn't udev (and then fstab-sync) react to the
presence of the usb device connected as sda1?
On another box, same FC4, this device works perfectly.
The difference is that the non-working box was
upgraded from FC2, while the working box was upgraded
from FC3. I'm pulling my hair out trying to discover
what I'm missing on the non-working box.
Any ideas for what I might be missing? I had to
manually add a 'haldaemon' user to get
/etc/init.d/messagebus to not complain.
It may not be missing anything but a version that isn't being updated.
This has been reported in the past by people that have done
upgrades. A version difference may be causing your problems.
