Hi everybody,

I've got a problem while upgrading the Debian unstable of the computer of my daughter to KDE3.4 (actually 3.4.2).

In KDE3.3 I could mount and umount the removable devices in /dev/sd* and /dev/cdrom from the devices:/ location as well as from the devices applet.
After upgrading to KDE3.4 I got to change manually the links in konqueror from devices:/ to media:/. After that I realized that the links to the removable devices were not present in media:/, even though I have the rigth rows in /etc/fstab, but it is present /dev/hda3 that is not existing in /etc/fstab.

I have hal, pmount, usbmount and udev installed. The kernel is 2.6.8; I read that to hotplug the devices I need the 2.6.11, but the upgrade did not gave any good result.

As indicated in some HOWTOs, I also added a soft link of pmount-hal in /etc/hal/device.d/60-pmount.hal, not provided by the debian installation, but still no results.

What surprise me is that many documents says that the content of media:/ comes from /etc/fstab, but this is not my case!

Anybody has an hint?

Thanks in advance
Jimmi

Do you think that this problem is related to udev?

Thanks

You may be right, anda_skoa. The last upgrade requested me to remove hotplug, and this stucked the mouse

I installed it again, but for the dependencies hal, udev and usbmount were removed. After that everything was working again

It may not be a solution of the problem, but now my daughter is happy, and I have the time to learn something about hal and udev (may be here)
