You can modify hal actions via config files to play nice with cdroms and such, but you never get hal to leave cf cards alone. Why should hal leave CF cards alone? On my own personal view, the way that kde handles things with hal, dbus and pmount are kinda of kludgy. Well, KDE...

I happily use both, but for different purposes. For filesystems on the local harddisk I use autofs and hald for removeable media. Bye...

If I'm thread hijacking, let me know, but it seems related to me: what is it that mounts things under /media? I seem to have a couple things fighting for devices, none of which obey my udev or fstab rules, seemingly. I *think* the contenders are udev (which doesn't mount anything, but it's not creating the symlinks I want), gnome-volume-manager, hal and pmount (not sure about that last, I'm not at my system now.) -- Ryan W Sims -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I think it has to do with having KDE and gnome on the same system (don't ask, I'm in the middle of a wm transition).
