From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: Running FC3 on AMD 3200+ with USB 2.0 ports. When insert Sandisk mini cruzer 1.0GB drive, drive is seen by usbview, but not mounted, nor added to fstab. When inserting this same flash drive into another PC running FC3 with USB 1.1 ports, drive is auto-mounted, icon appears on desktop, icon appears in nautilus under 'computer'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert flash drive 2. 3. Actual Results: usbview sees flash drive under EHCI controller. No icon on desktop, no icon in nautilus under 'computer'. Expected Results: icon on desktop, icon in nautilus Additional info: when I had FC2 on this PC, I had the same problem. To fix it, I removed the line in /etc/modprobe.conf that had 'ehci' in it, and then flash drive would be seen as USB 1.1 device. I tried this on FC3, but the flash drive still shows up as USB 2.0 device.
I do not even get this far. I plug in my flash stick and it blinks as if it is being mounted. But then nothing... lsusb shows only the usb hubs no devices, ditto usbview. In the past I would just mount /dev/sda1, but that does not seem to exist either. I did notice a /mnt/removable directory create once I plugged the stick in, but nothing mounted to it. Nothing in /media either which is where I expected the device to mount (since cd and floppy were moved there). Its as if, FC3 sees the drive, but refuses to use it. All help greatly appreciated. Once server in particular is backed up via USB hard drive, and until this is fixed, this is a show stopper! Thx
Same problem here with a SanDisk Cruzer Mini 128 USB2 key on my laptop (toshiba P10 104) USB2 ports It seems that the key get recognized (led blinks) but not automatically mounted like it should be. It's like Haldeamon fails when the key is plugged I've added to the bug two attachments : Before.txt: lshal dump before plugging my USB key After.txt: lshal dump after the key has been connected.

I just up2dated the latest HAL release (0.4.2) and it hasn't solved the problem. HAL keeps on freezing when I plug my USB key.
Assigning to hal.
This is a known issue with the usb-storage driver - it is being tracked in bug 136255. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136255 ***
This is not a duplicate but instead a second and seperate issue against the same driver. When I plug in my USB device on an FC3 machine, it does not hang anything, Fedora flat does not see it! I have one thing to add though... I have a laptop that I know works with USB 2 devices (a Sony Viao Z505) that does see the memory sticks. The only difference that I can see is that the Viao has the memory stick adapter and therefore dev sees the /dev/sda tree. But with my other machines, no such device exists, and therefore no /dev/sda to attach the memory stick to. AGAIN... No zombie processes on this end, this is a seperate issue and not a duplicate!
OK, please attach the output of 'hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes' when plugging in the device. You need to ensure that hald is not already running, you can do this with 'service haldaemon stop'.
I have a 256MB SanDisk Cruzer Mini, and whenever I boot up, the first time I plug it in, it works fine, however if i unmount and unplug it, and then plug it back in, it no longer automounts. (the same problem as the bug). I have NOT updated hal, and I have NO clue what is going on.

Hello, I added the hal verbose output to the bug. If you need other info ask me Fre
Update to original report: I bought an external USB 1.1 hub, plugged it into the USB 2.0 port on the PC and then plugged the Sandisk mini cruzer into the USB 1.1 hub and it works fine - hal detects the flash drive as a USB 1.1 device and everything is ok. I dual boot this PC and the flash drive works fine as a USB 2.0 device on Windows XP.
Another update - I disabled acpi and now it works perfectly. I unchecked acpid in Services, and also added 'acpi=off' in the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf.
I think also that kernel 2.6.10 and later have much improved USB Storage support. Closing this bug as it really concerns the USB drivers in the kernel.
FYI : I really needed my usb key to work so I bought a Iomega Mini usb2 key Plugged it in and miracle! it worked. So I definitively think that the Sandisk Cruzer Mini series have something particular....
Yeah, some specific devices are troublesome unfortunately; FWIW, a friend of mine got a Sandisk Cruzer Mini 256MB (with the blue led) that works fine; it might be a different revision of the chipset
