i'm creating a live cd for my linux distro based on debian of kernel verion 2.6.12smp. i'd created my installable cd with udev, hal, pmount and latest gvm. when i insert usb i could find my icon for usb instantaneously. but when i created livecd i could not see the icon corresponding to the usb, but the nautalis recognizes and opens the file browser window which shows the fle contents in the usb(this happens bcos i'd made changes in the FHS of policy.h of pmount). The livecd is based on the concept of the knoppix where the contents will be loaded in the /UNIONFS/ folder on mount.
Following is the snapshot of
1. dmesg

Though FHS has to be followed i'd added /UNIONFS/ string prefixed to the directory structure provided in the policy.h of the pmount and made the usb to mount.
my problem is i like to know why gvm is not recognizing the usb and displaying the icon on the desktop.
Thanks in advance.
