However, it never appears in the drives:// section. I tried to stop and

restart the hotplug daemon with no success.

Since people apparently had this problem with another mobo, it is maybe the same kind of problem. Is anyone has been able to have hotplug working with this mobo ?

If memory serves me correct there was a problem with 9.1 and the hotplugging/subfs where this happened. I have to admit that i was on 32-bit at the time and there were many people who had the same problem - search the suse-linux-e archives. I do not think that there ever was a solution for this in 9.1 apart from switching off the subfs http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/hmeyer_91_revert_from_subfs.html Upgrading to 9.2 where it works in both 32 & 64 bit version may be your only solution.
