From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20061011 Fedora/1.5.0.7-7.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.7 Description of problem: The system does not detect a Lexar compact flash card reader that connects via USB. I have connected it to different USB ports on my machine with the same result. I have also connected the card reader and card to a Macintosh system which detected it successfully, so I am reasonably certain that this is not a hardware problem. My system is able to detect my USB printer and also a USB memory stick. The card reader is the only thing it will not detect. The card reader worked successfully under FC 5, this problem has arisen only since I upgraded to FC 6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.8.1-4.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert card into card reader that is plugged in to a USB port. 2.Watch nothing happen. 3. Actual Results: Nothing! No new window in gnome, no /disk directory in /media Expected Results: Under FC 5, I got Nautilus window in Gnome with the files on the card listed. I could also list the directory /media/disk and its subdirectories in emacs dired and move files to my hard drive. Additional info:
