Comment 10 for bug 102097

Same problem: I have a Seagate 250Gb external hard disk, udev correctly creates the entry in /dev, but nothing appears in /media (which, under 6.10, it did).
The filesystem type is vfat.

I have a "udevcontrol log_priority=debug" daemon.log for the attach if that is useful to anybody. It shows that udev is doing its stuff, and ends with:
