I continue to have trouble with removable usb memory sticks not auto-mounting with Fedora. Had problem on FC6( auto-mounted the stick once, then never again) and now, after a fresh install of FC7, the same problem. Hal output always ends with "scsi.type is unknown" "Not adding device object", but, other indicators show that the device is recognized and present. I can mount it manually. I've removed the following file, as some suggested, but still no luck /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi This seems to be an ongoing problem. Can anyone shed any light on this? The hal dev group had nothing for me. What's up?? Thanks. =============== info follows ================== FC7 ships with the following udev rules. 05-udev-early.rules: # sysfs is populated after the event is sent ACTION=="add",
