Here is my experience. On my laptop, an Thinkpad T41, all my partitions show up in "media:/". On my desktop, the only one partition shows up. Two entire disks are missing. I also know of others having trouble with this. We have been thinking it is a KDE problem, but apparently it is not if a hal revert fixes it. -- Greg _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
