Hiya!
Obviously, I'm somewhat blinded. For some time I try to configure a new
desktop machine ('etch', kernel 2.6.12) to automount
(gnome-volume-manager) an USB stick. This is not my first Debian system
and with other systems (e.g. my laptop), I'm able to use USB sticks, but
this machine is awful.
If I insert the USB stick, the kernel says:
usb 1-2.2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[...]
Attached scsi removable disk sdg at scsi7, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
I have no idea why exacly sdg and not sdc (sd[a,b] are my harddisks), but imo
that doesn't matter. What matters is the message:
hal.dev [5657]: DEVNAME is not set
for I cannot find anything useful even using google. I tried to start the
'hald' foreground and verbose but that gives me this messages:
linux/osspec.c:1461: Processing event around first hotplug with SEQNUM=1017
linux/osspec.c:1354: action=add seqnum=1017 subsystem=usb
sysfs_path=/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-2/1-2.2

[...]
hald.c:81: Added device to GDL;

and nothing happens. On my laptop things go on with:
linux/osspec.c:1349: action=add seqnum=1009 subsystem=block
sysfs_path=/sys/block/sdb
linux/osspec.c:1191: dev_file=/dev/sdb is for

linux/osspec.c:1197: .udev.class_name = block
linux/block_class_device.c:1410: Bus type is scsi!
[...]
linux/block_class_device.c:839: Forcing check for media check on device
/dev/sdb
and finally:
linux/block_class_device.c:2145: /dev/sdb1 is mounted at
/mnt/sdb1,major:minor=8:17,
fstype=vfat,udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_4241-6035
but this damned desktop doesn't do anything like that.
Anybody with a hint or suggestion?
Yours,
Rene
