Description of problem: Hal on my up2date fc5 system is not correctly detecting my LG branded usb flash drive, while other usb flash drives are detected How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert my LG flash drive 2. udev creates the appropriate sdX and sdX1 entries for the device and I can mount the device as root with an explicit mount command on the cmdline 3. hal fails to correctly notice its a usb-storage device and does not inform the gnome-desktop that this device is mountable, nor can I use gnome-mount on the command line. Expected results: I should get an icon for my LG branded usb storage in the Computer window and it should be user mountable like my memorex branded flash drive.

Please give me explicit system commands to run to better determine where the failure is, I haven't had to troubleshoot this sort of problem in the gnome-mount era of hal operation. --jef
