Is this a udev problem??
Seems like the alsa drivers for your card aren't loaded. udev will only create devices if they are there in kernel space. > 2) I can't access my CD drive anymore.

You shouldn't be using ide-scsi with 2.6.x kernels anymore in general. Again udev will only create devices that are actually there. Maybe you still have the ide-scsi=hdc in the kernel cmdline (or something like that), iirc that will cause ide-cd not to touch that drive and leave it for ide-scsi. > 3) This might not be a real problem, but I thought that g-v-m would > automagically mount everything that I would throw at my laptop.

Hal doesn't poll ide-cs drivers for media changes because of problems with the kernel ide-cs driver. Apperently it will give you an endless stream of hotplug events if you do that :(. As a result ide-cs drivers aren't supported by gvm. I don't know the exact details and i don't have such a device, so i can't debug/fix that.. Sjoerd -- "I don't think so," said Ren'e Descartes.
