Description of problem: I have a multicard reader which is plugged into an internal USB socket. The card reader also has a floppy drive in it. /sbin/lsusb has identified the card reader and there is an entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices for it. I have done a reset, it looks like something has been picked up as an error message appears to say that there isn't an entry in fstab or mtab for /proc/bus/usb Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev 0.42-1 kernel 2.6.9-1.1004_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the hardware 2. Reset 3. Actual results: Other than the error, nothing happens Expected results: The device should be installed with an icon in "Computer" with cards automounted. Additional info: /proc/bus/usb/devices set as a file
Unable to attach the /proc/bus/usb/devices file as a file due to a bugzilla problem (bug 141385) Here it is as text!

Driver=usb-storage should make a hotplug event (for debugging set in /etc/sysconfig/hotplug: DEBUG="yes") and advertise /dev/sda or s.th. like that... you may also turn on udev debugging (udev_log=yes in /etc/udev/udev.conf).
/etc/sysconfig/hotplug didn't exist, so I've added it in. I'll reboot shortly and report what happens. Should /etc/sysconfig/hotplug exist?
On shut down, the message shutting down HAL came up as failed. On reboot , I had no logging with either udev (nothing in /var/log or /etc/udev) and had the same error on reboot of can't find /proc/bus/usb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Still using the 1006 kernel, the 1008 kernel gave an error on install with --pre
This has been fixed in later kernels
