Hi, All. I encountered this problem on my asus eee pc with 8G SDHC card.
My quick and dirty workaround is make root filesystem not removable.
1. Login with Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Xterm session.
2. run 'hal-device' to find device which contains root file system. (device
means not media but controller
Stewart, MattPie, bbauto:
I am sorry. hal-set-property is right.
In my case, it is same as MattPie. The volume entry does not have
storage.removable key. How about this:
hal-get-property --key block.storage_device --udi `hal-find-by-property
--key volume.mount_point --string /` | xargs -l1
