Description Enrico Morelli 2011-05-30 13:58:03 UTC

Under a lot of workstation HP with RHEL 4.9, kernel 2.6.9-100.ELsmp, hal-0.4.2-9.el4_8 the system doesn't automount USB sticks. 

The error is the same in all the workstations.

This is the dmesg:

This is the /var/log/messages:

The last line show the error. In some cases if I restart haldaemon, the USB stick in automounted immediately, but only one time. If I umount and plug-in again the USB stick, I receive the same error.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug-in a USB stick
