Fedora 7 has a file called /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi to prevent this from happening, here's its contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> If that file is no longer there in Fedora 8, try adding it and see if that helps.
