When I insert a usb stick, there's a lot of output in /var/log/messages about the stick and the partition on it. Then I use "mount /media/usbstick" to mount it according to the appropriate entry in my /etc/fstab. Speaking of which, what's your /etc/fstab look like? If you use "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plug the device in, does it see that it's connected?
I suspect you're talking about auto mounting, such as KDE or Gnome does; can you manually mount them? If not, then I doubt auto mounting will either. Jake Moe
