I am trying to get USB working on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 Server with the 64-bit SuSE 9.1 installed. When I plug in the device (any I have tied so far) it is not automounted like in other machines running SuSE 9.1 (32-bit). Is there a difference between the SuSE hardware tool in the 64-Bit versus the 32-bit. The SuSE Hardware Tool configuration is identical in both machines (64-bit and 32-bit) albeit the machines are different hardware. SuSE recognizes the drive (see /var/log/messages snippet below) but no automount. Any ideas?

Any ideas?
Check /etc/fstab . I had a similar problem on 9.1 (32bit) recently where everything went fine with the usb, the device would show up in konqueror but the filesystem would not mount because usbfs didn't have the auto option in fstab. Brana

Thanks for the suggestion, but after changing usbfs to auto there was no difference. I can tell that the os sees the drive from the /var/log/messages or via yast2 hardware information but that is all. I can force the mount by adding something like: /dev/sdd1 /media/usb_hd auto rw,noauto,users,exec,umask=0000,sync 0 0 to the /etc/fstab and then mount /media/usb_hd but I was hoping for the automount functionality.
