From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: I'm not sure if this is HAL or SELinux or kernel related but ever since upgrading to any of the the 2.6.14 kernels, attaching an external vfat firewire drive no longer automounts to /media/VOLUME_NAME, this worked fine with 2.6.13. It seems kernel specific because when I reboot with 2.6.13 (everything else stays the same) it works again. Here's the syslog from 2.6.14 (does not work): ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023 ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023 ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[00050001e00f9c70] sbp2: $Rev: 1306 $ Ben Collins <bcollins> ieee1394: sbp2: Driver forced to serialize I/O (serialize_io=1) ieee1394: sbp2: Try serialize_io=0 for better performance scsi1 : SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048] Vendor: ST320082 Model: 2A Rev: Type: Direct-Access-RBC ANSI SCSI revision: 04 SCSI device sdb: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB) sdb: asking for cache data failed sdb: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdb: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB) sdb: asking for cache data failed sdb: assuming drive cache: write through sdb: sdb1 Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 14 If I mount this drive manually, mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/loop it works fine.

Hi, can you attach the output of lshal and the contents of your /etc/fstab with the drive plugged in? Thanks.

Hi John, I assume you meant with 2.6.14 (broken?), I can supply the same with 2.6.13 (working) if you wish. Here's the fstab: [root@dell ~]# cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Thanks!

seems to be the same Bugzilla Bug 174537 â FireWire not working in recent 2.6.14 kernels
Not quite. As I understand from those posters there is some problem between the scsi emulation layer and registering the device, mine works fine, I just have to mount it manually, ie, there is no apparent problem with firewire or scsi.
This problem is also present with a gen 2 ipod (as expected)
Bug 174537 is another, more general incarnation of the same bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=175998#c15
*** Bug 175998 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
The problem appears to be fixed in FC5 with the 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 kernel (I don't have any older ones left on my box to try). This can be closed.
Would anybody please close this bug?
