what do you have in /etc/fstab ? fstab is pretty much following the gentoo installation instructions. # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> /dev/hda3 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2 /dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 noatime 0 2 /dev/hda7 /usr ext3 noatime 0 2 /dev/hda8 /var ext3 noatime 0 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Can you use the latest hal and kernel please? What program did you emerge that wanted you to downgrade hal? And what version of udev are you using? I am sorry I was confused about having to remove hal. The versions I am currently running are: kernel-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 hal-05.5.1-r3 udev-079-r1 I just went back through my emerge.log to try to figure out some history on this problem. I know for sure the flash memory worked in gnome on Dec 26, but I did several upgrade world since then but I am not sure I used the flash memory until around Jan 30. On Jan 22 I did an emerge --sync and upgraded to portage 2.0.54 Then I had a blocker and had to unmerge sys-fs/cryptsetup. Next, in the upgrade world I upgraded to udev-079-r1. The world upgrade died because hal-05.5.1-r3 needed a higer version kernel. I then upgraded the kernel from 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 to 2.6.15-gentoo-r1. Later, I finished the world upgrade and it installed hal-05.5.1-r3. As I reviewed the emerge log I noticed there may be another reason I am developing this problem. On Jan 22 one of the upgrades replaced gnomevfs-0.8.10 with gnomevfs-0.8.11. I "fixed" this problem today ... well I now have a system that works but I don't think it is quite "right", but it does get the job done. I added the following two lines to my fstab /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb_dr1 auto user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb_dr2 auto user,noauto 0 0 I can now mount and unmount in gnome as a non-root user. The only non-pretty thing is I see in the gnome window both the usb_dr1 and the actual device name even though both are linked. Ditto for the usb_dr2. Doesn't bother me but it ain't a real pretty solution. Not sure if this should be marked Fixed.. so I will leave that decision to someone wiser. Is your user in the "plugdev" group? I bet it's not. You need to be in the plugdev group. No answer on this bug. Re-open if you are in the plugdev group and it's still bad for you. |
