It worked! :-) Thanks!

There's a way to tell hald to not ignore new driver partitions?

Because write a XML file to be able to mount a external HD isn't much user 
friendly, hehe, or this is the default hald behaviour and you guys from solid 
can't do nothing to fix it?

For example.. if I plug another e-SATA HD on my computer, from a friend, 
whatever, I'll need to write another XML file...  : -/

Again, thanks a lot, now I can use my external HD without going to a term :-D.
