Additional info:
My system is up to date as of 03/16/07 11:00am EST

There is nothing reported in /var/log/messages or secure about it
Same problem with SElinux enabled or Permissive
From searching other bugs I'm guessing its a console-kit problem
here is some console kit output:

Comment 1 Scott Dodson 2007-03-17 14:06:23 EDT

I get the same.  A block device (/dev/sdb1) is created and can be mounted manually.

Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2007-03-19 11:57:14 EDT

Probably CK needs an update to cope with the new changes in GDM - let me verify...

Comment 3 David Zeuthen 2007-03-19 12:08:11 EDT

*** Bug 232774 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Axel 2007-03-19 18:35:40 EDT

Isn't that bug related to the problem mentionned at 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2007-March/007451.html ?

Comment 5 Scott Dodson 2007-03-20 22:29:19 EDT

Problem has gone away with today's update of ConsoleKit.

Comment 6 David Zeuthen 2007-04-02 17:48:20 EDT

Looks like this bug can be closed then... feel free to reopen if the bug is
still there. Thanks.
