On my system it takes about 2-5 seconds more for the following to show up: 23:50:53.743: volume_uuid_487F_1EC0 added 23:50:53.878: storage_serial_Prolific_Technology_Inc__USB_Mass_Storage_Device added 23:50:53.880: storage_serial_Prolific_Technology_Inc__USB_Mass_Storage_Device property info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.Removable'} (new) You should see similar output eventually, or something might be wrong with HAL. > dmesg turns up : > > usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 > usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice > scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices > usb-storage: device found at 10 > usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning > Vendor: TREK Model: TDMINIG2 Rev: 1.00 > Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > SCSI device sdb: 1012736 512-byte hdwr sectors (519 MB) > sdb: Write Protect is off > sdb: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 > sdb: assuming drive cache: write through > SCSI device sdb: 1012736 512-byte hdwr sectors (519 MB) > sdb: Write Protect is off > sdb: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 > sdb: assuming drive cache: write through > sdb: sdb1 > sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb > usb-storage: device scan complete I get the messages in different order, but besides that I don't see anything unusual in your output. > No luck with purging hal and reinstalling. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
