I have a SanDisk e250 that is mounted by HAL without difficulty. I assume that HAL is running; if not, perhaps that is the problem. (I'm also running Gnome, but I suspect that that's irrelevant.) Mount shows this: /dev/sdb1 on /media/Sansa e250 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,shortname=winnt,uid=501) This might be useful as well: http://www.howtoforge.com/sandisk_mp3_player_linux I also added the following stanza to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi <!-- Sandisk Corp.
