What happens when you insert the usb-stick? Does it mount at /media/??? like it should? What do you see in /var/log/messages? Is it the standard FAT filesystem? How about -- as root -- lsusb?

It was a FAT32 system (remember, in 9.2 it was mounted automatically). Just to make sure, i reformatted it FAT32 in SuSE 9.3 - no change, of course, that was not the problem.
my question is: why isn't the usbstick mounted automatically?

Your _usbstick_ was recognized by your system and it appears to have been mounted without errors, as noted by dmesg and lsusb. Unless, of course, the Prolific Technology Flash Disk is a different usb device.?.?.? Konqueror may not have opened automatically, but it certainly looks like the thumbdrive was mounted. Did you look at /media/xxx where your system would normally automatically mount the device? Such as /media/usbdisk? -- Christopher Shanahan
