I do have the same issue with my mobile Sony Ericsson K750i - it should be
detected as an usbstick, but it doesn't show up in ///:computer
lshal shows my device perfectly and I can manually mount the device.

If I enter the relevant line manually in /etc/fstab and save the file the device
will show up in ///:computer

I unplug the device, connect it again and the whole procedure starts again
(adding manually the line in /etc/fstab, save, etc ...)

With the larger sister mobile phone Sony Ericsson W800i it works perfectly fine
out-of-the-box...

FC4 AMD64 distro, kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4, hal-0.5.2-2.fc4.1

I don't know if it is the same issue but I cannot keep hald running.  At this
point, I cannot even get it to start.

I just found this and I will have to check on two other computers that have had
USB issues.  Time to learn about hal. 

Comment 3 Christian Iseli 2007-01-22 10:04:51 UTC
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

It works for me now perfectly fine with FC6

Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained.

Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the
current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the
corresponding Fedora version.
