mounting Floppy and USB - 2.6.16.16

mounting Floppy and USB - 2.6.16.16

[Brian D. McGrew]

Hey Guys:

With 2.4.20 and 2.6.9 I had all this automated so everything just
happened automatically.  It's not working with 2.6.16.16 now.  What am I
missing or what did I forget?

Thanks,

:b!

Yeah, there was an issue like that, but I don't know what from triple 
[kernel/udev/hal] made it working again. Try to upgrade each part (even from 
devel tree) to [2.6.18-rc4/095/0.5.7.1] and see what happens.

It 'looks' like I have the latest?  I'm not getting any "errors".  But
with RH7.3/2.4.20 and FC3/2.6.9 inserting a CD or USB Flash drive
mounted automatically.  I upgraded to 2.6.16.16 on the previously
working FC3 machines and now it doesn't --- so I'm sure I missing
something in the kernel configuration and just don't know what it
is!?!?!

Thanks!

  Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been
  told to cancel this test and seek professional assistance!

Old udev. That one is the latest in fc3. The latest udev is 098, in rawhide 
there is 095.
Old hal. The latest is 0.5.7.1, in rawhide there is also that version.

Redhat doesn't seem to support old releases too much (fc3 in this case), try to 
upgrade to fc6 test or fc5, or at least
yum --enablerepo=development update hal udev
or something like that.
