Hi I just posted the same on the german gentoo user list:
HAL is no longer compiled with the --enable-fstab-sync option. Therefore hotpluggable devices wont be automounted. To get around this, you can create a overlay with the current hal-0.5.4.ebuild and add the following: src_compile() { econf \ $(use_enable debug verbose-mode) \ $(use_enable pcmcia pcmcia-support) \ --enable-sysfs-carrier \ --enable-hotplug-map \ + --enable-fstab-sync \ $(use_enable doc docbook-docs) \ $(use_enable doc doxygen-docs) \ --with-pid-file=/var/run/hald.pid \ || die "configure failed" emake || die "make failed" } Maybe you've to change the permissions on /etc/fstab to haldaemon:haldaemon, as it needs the permission to change the file. If you need informations on how to make an overlay, please ask! Stefan BTW: I don't know why --enable-fstab-sync isn't used anymore - maybe it's for some good reason, I don't know. Do this on your own risk ;). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
