Hello,
Auto-mounting of USB flash-drives and CD-RW (as well as CD-R) was working fine with CentOS 4.0 release for all users.
This feature of auto-recognition and mounting is not working with CentOS 4.2 release for any user.
I have checked the usual possible points of problems -- fstab, fstab-sync, haldaemon, etc. -- but have found no problems.
Any suggestions on other possible work-arounds ?
I started using CentOS 4.2 so I don't know if the problem I had is the same as yours but I had difficulties with USB drives until I put 'acpi=off' as a boot option. It means that the dual core Pentium 4 is only running single core, but USBs now work properly. I cannot remember the details, but I think I saw something saying that support is better in later kernels so I have hope that I may not need to turn acpi off when CentOS 5 comes out.
Hope this helps,
Joe
