Recently my 2.6.22.13-0.3-default SUSE kernel has stopped automatically mounting my USB disks and thumbdrives under /media. The strange thing is that this worked just fine up till recently and occasionally still works again after a reboot. All the plugged-in USB devices appear to be visible to the kernel (see 'lsusb' and 'fdisk -l' output below), but they simply won't mount every time on boot or when I hotplug them. However, I _can_ mount them manually without an issue. Also, I've made no changes to /etc/fstab for ages that might account for this. I've seen some Google references to wrong permissions on USB devices that might generate this warning, but none of them sound quite right to me here.
Had this same problem with my usb hard drive and three thumbdrives. After doing a lot of searching and following all the advice, like upgrading hal to 5.10 from a beta repo. What finally worked was to change RUN_PARALLEL="no" to your /etc/sysconfig/boot file. This can be done from within YAST. Now it seems to work fine. -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” [Theodore Roosevelt] 1918 Adolph & Sharon Weidanz SuSE 10.1 '78 43' Endeavour Ketch Folding@Home Team 45 S/V Time To Paws -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
