I have a cardbus to CF adaptor. Under FC3, insertion of the adaptor (with CF card) would cause automount and a new icon on desktop. Under FC4, an attempt is made to do this, but it fails. An error is recorded in /var/log/messages claiming that /sbin/ide_info was not found. "yum provides" does not reveal any package that supplies any ide_info binary (though there does appear to be a residual man page in japanese :-) Attempt to mount gets as far as creating the mount point but does not actually do the mount. Not clear if absence of ide_info is causally related to failure to mount. If I log out and log back in, the icon still does not appear, but the device *does* get mounted.
Hmm. On second thought this is *probably* an automounter issue. I put it here because the complaint came from cardmgr. If I got it wrong, my apologies
I am sure this has nothing to do with missing /sbin/ide_info. It is not used on FC4 and I have removed the call to it, so you won't be seing that message in future versions of pcmcia_cs. That said, perhaps something is not right with HAL or Nautilus on your box. The automatic mounting must be enabled explicitly in this dialog: Gnome menu -> Desktop -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media That the device gets mounted at login is very strange. Maybe David has any ideas... What is the precise version of pcmcia_cs on your box, by rpm -q pcmcia_cs ?
This might be bug 159748 which is about gnome-vfs not getting an event when /etc/mtab - does mount(1) tell if the device is mounted?
Btw, an update for gamin is available as an update http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/ That might fix the problem if my guess in comment 3 is correct.
