I've had this happen (without the power failure part) on CentOS 4, and
found it to be a problem with the HAL daemon and/or
gnome-volume-manager.  Did HAL start up properly when the system
restarted?  Do you have a gnome-volume-manager process running?

As a partly-related aside, can anyone explain why the usermount
program has disappeared from the standard Gnome menus in CentOS 5?  In
3 and 4 it appeared under System Tools - Disk Management.  I presume
it's an upstream thing, but a few googlings have not found anything
about the motivation for the change.

 Hi,

 I am using 5.1, Until yesterday morning when we had a power cut
 for 9 hours [no proper UPS], the automount of USB drives worked
 properly.

 Now when I connect any USB drive [hard drives  USB sticks], they
 show up in dmesg, and they are being properly recognized, but I
 have to mount them by hand.

 Any suggestion?

Have you checked to see if the automount daemon is still running?
