Description of problem: Firewire storage devices, after having had the blacklist line commented out, are detected by the kernel, but nothing else. They are not mounted by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.8.1-49.el5 How reproducible: Always, at least with two different storage devices and two different laptops Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL5.4-Client-20090708.0 tree (i386 or x86_64) on a Dell M4300 or a Lenovo Thinkpad R400 2. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire, comment out the line that prevents the firewire modules from loading, then reboot. 3. Plug in a firewire storage device. Actual results: Kernel correctly shows it, but it is not mounted. Expected results: Should be mounted and have a nautilus window opened for it. Additional info: Not a regression.
