My PC even with the latest updates was not auto-mounting, so continued
searching the web and found lots of suggestions about modifying udev
rules (in folder /etc/udev/rules.d). Tried a few things with little
impact, but what I did discover was a corrupt 95-hal.rules file. My
8.04 was installed as an update and not as a clean install. the
following is my 95-hal.rules as it stands now. the first few lines
before the hal comment is what was originally in this file, but
commented. Auto mounting now works a treat after restarting the PC (not
sure if a restart of udev or hal is required).
#/*
# * APT configuration file for Zope Debian packages.
# */
#DPkg {
# Post-Invoke {"which dz
# Have udev pass data over a socket to hal
RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"
+
+# unmount block devices when they are removed
+SUBSYSTEM=="block",ACTION="remove", RUN+="/usr/lib/hal/hal-unmount.sh"
Hope this works for others. Can someone confirm what should be in
95-hal.rules in 8.04
