I have done a bit more investigations, and it seems that in mine installation the hotplug part is not working correctly. It doesn't reacts on plugging in external usb hdd, it doesn't mounts subfs stuff, and even a basic stuff like lshal, hal-device or hal-device-manager doesn't work dying with some strange errors like $ lshal lshal version 0.5.4 error: libhal_ctx_init: (null): (null)
This is the normal message from lshal if hald is not running (check with 'ps -aux | grep hal' or 'rchal status').
The collective intelligence had already figured it out ;) It's incorrectly built hal package, which doesn't has one of the helpers.
As wrote in the thread the package is not incorrect. The problem is the hal package self. There is the bug. In fact the build of the helper is enclosed in ifdef's. Because of a missing libary in the build environment the helper was not compiled. The problem: in this case the related fdi-file should be changed if the helper is not compiled, but it does not happens automatically. Cheers, Danny
