So no wonder you don't get it!
This is the disconnect message, from /var/log/messages (for my usb memory stick): Mar 14 17:41:38 amethyst kernel: usb 4-3: USB disconnect, address 2 Mar 14 17:41:39 amethyst fstab-sync[5886]: removed mount point /media/usbdisk for /dev/sda1 Mar 14 17:41:57 amethyst kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3 Mar 14 17:41:57 amethyst hal.hotplug[5936]: DEVPATH is not set When I disconnect the Zip drive, I don't get any message like the above. With or without the haldaemon running. Another detail that may help. When I click on the desktop icon (I'm using GNOME) to unmount the zip drive (which is identified as IOMEGA) I receive the following error message even though the disk auto ejects: Unable to eject media > show more details Eject: unable to open /dev/sda1 > > Try reporting your problem to the Fedora support group. OK, I've sent the exact message to them, but I'm still waiting for a response. In another thread re: a USB issue someone suggested the following: 1. Try all the USB ports. "the ports on the backplane (near the keyboard and mouse PS/2 ports) work better than those on the front of the machine. I did try this and the error messages stopped after one second. 2. "Try, as root, running /sbin/rmmod ehci before plugging the disk in. This downgrades the kernel to USB 1.1, but resolves some issues." I tried this and received the following error: ERROR: Module does not exist in /proc/modules This is a new install, only a couple of days old. I'm not opposed to doing a reinstall or even trying another distro, if that would help.
