It looks as though this problem needs help from kde knowledgeable people!

Some kind of automounter? [Gnome and KDE seem to have their own automounters, running from user level...] THIRD QUOTE: Are you running Gnome or KDE? For example, I see that in Gnome, under the preferences menu, there is an option for whether to automatically mount removable media when inserted. If you disable that and the messages go away, then we at least know what the trigger is. > If I put a 256M memory card in then messages for da0 stop.. Good; that makes sense.

There seems to be a "KDE HAL Device Manager", which I assume (from its name) should be controlling this. Can you get into a configuration for that and see what you can do? [Sorry I can't help more now, but I don't use KDE, and my machine with a card reader is powered down at the moment.] Can anyone help further?
