Hi there, today i've installed the latest kernel update kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7. Now my USB stick doesn't automount, with kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 a desktop icon appears. Manual mounting the stick works without problems. It's a DELL Inspiron 9300 notebook. With a USB harddisk the automount works as before. Any hints? Here the logfile for the usb stick: usb 5-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 usb 5-8: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 4 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access TOSHIBA TransMemory 1.04 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 2004992 512-byte hardware sectors (1027 MB) sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 2004992 512-byte hardware sectors (1027 MB) sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 To see the difference, here the logfile with a usb harddisk: Jul 21 20:47:45 merlin kernel: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Jul 21 20:47:45 merlin kernel: usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 21 20:47:45 merlin kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 21 20:47:49 merlin NetworkManager: <info> Error getting killswitch power: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported - Access type not supported Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access SAMSUNG SV1204H 0000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 234493056 512-byte hardware sectors (120060 MB) Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 234493056 512-byte hardware sectors (120060 MB) Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sdb: sdb1 Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk Jul 21 20:47:50 merlin kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Jul 21 20:47:52 merlin kernel: kjournald starting.
