Thanks for your prompt reply. I am using the latest Ubuntu Intrepid (as updated through the standard repositories). LSB reports: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10 Codename: intrepid
'apt-cache policy hal': 0.5.11-3~ubuntu5 I should note that the entire partition map/hard drive is NOT recognised in Intrepid, and so you can't run fsck or fdisk on this device... it just comes up as invalid. Whilst I could upload the lshal log completely, you would then have to trawl through it... so I will simply post the relevant information for my device here (let me know if you want the whole lot): udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1006_3010_69FFE0820000' info.linux.driver = 'usb' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1d6b_2_0000_00_1d_7' (string) info.product = 'iriver MP3 E10' (string) info.subsystem = 'usb_device' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1006_3010_69FFE0820000' (string) info.vendor = 'iRiver, Ltd.'
