[Digikam-users] Problems with hald automounting my digicam

[Florian Ehinger]

Hello

I have problems with mounting the my digitalcamera. It used to be no problem 
that KDE was mounting it as a normal USB Storage device but recently it is 
not working anymore.

KDE still recognizes the camara and pops up the window. But when I try to open 
it Konqueror gives the error "no such medium"

I am not sure since when the problem occurs. I have recently updated to KDE 
3.5.8 as well as the kernel (2.6.18.8-0.7) and hald 
(hal-0.5.8_git20061106-31.3).

I get the following messages in  /var/log/messages (whole output at the end of 
the mail)

Oct 28 17:58:14 Idefix hald[10538]: forcibly attempting to lazy 
     unmount /dev/sdb1 as enclosing drive was disconnected
Oct 28 17:58:14 Idefix hald: unmounted /dev/sdb1 from '/media/disk' on behalf
     of uid 0

The blockdevice "/dev/sdb1 " is not existing any more after this messages, 
however when I disable hald I can mount the camera without any problems 
manually.

KDE still can mount my memory stick without any problems. But I have 
discovered that the stick is using ehci instead of ohci like the camera.

Any ideas?
Is it possible to disable the hald for the camera?

Thank you
 Florian
