Bug Description

case dedscription:
I've recently bought an external firewire harddrive.
when I've connected the drive, nothing happened.

what I've expected:
to see an icon of the mounted drive on the desktop.
(like my windows partition, and an additional fat32 partition).

the drive can be mounted using system->administration->Disks.

I've followed the instructions at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com//DebuggingRemovableDevices

there is no "attach" button, therefore, I'll add the debug material in the following comments.

Please use the "Add attachment" button in the right menu next time. :)

It sees that you are using dapper. We had some hotplug issues and transitions in the past. Can you please dist-upgrade to the latest dapper? Does it still fail?

If it still does not work, can you please generate a full hal debug output, as described on the second half of http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices? hal knows nothing about the firewire devices although the devices are there, I'd like to find out why.

Thanks!
