Description Ray Redd 2006-11-23 22:06:28 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20061011 Fedora/1.5.0.7-7.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.7

Description of problem:
The system does not detect a Lexar compact flash card reader that connects via USB.  I have connected it to different USB ports on my machine with the same result.  I have also connected the card reader and card to a Macintosh system which detected it successfully, so I am reasonably certain that this is not a hardware problem.  

My system is able to detect my USB printer and also a USB memory stick.  The card reader is the only thing it will not detect.

The card reader worked successfully under FC 5, this problem has arisen only since I upgraded to FC 6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.5.8.1-4.fc6

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert card into card reader that is plugged in to a USB port.
2.Watch nothing happen.
3.

Actual Results:
Nothing!  No new window in gnome, no /disk directory in /media

Expected Results:
Under FC 5, I got Nautilus window in Gnome with the files on the card listed.  I could also list the directory /media/disk and its subdirectories in emacs dired and move files to my hard drive.
