Hi Martin,

Sorry for the delay. I have just begun a short research stay abroad and it's always a little difficult to completely settle down fast. :)

I have confirmed the problem in a different computer (also with feisty, up to the last updates). I have generated a hal.log file by following the Dapper instructions in the wiki page you posted. The device is plugged in at timestamp 22:59:06.551. Confusingly enough, hal does seem to find the partition. The only eye-catching difference I can spot between the processes followed for the HD and the SD card reader is that after the "Doing addon-storage for /dev/sdX" message, only the second time around does osspec.c report having added the device name:

[29032]: 22:59:12.541 [D] addon-storage.c:312: **************************************************
[29032]: 22:59:12.541 [D] addon-storage.c:313: Doing addon-storage for /dev/sdd (bus usb) (drive_type disk) (udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_Unknown_SDC_PVG0M635V2EV)
[29032]: 22:59:12.541 [D] addon-storage.c:314: **************************************************
22:59:12.568 [I] osspec.c:226: SEQNUM=3028, ACTION=add, SUBSYSTEM=block, EVPATH
=/sys/block/sdd/sdd1, DEVNAME=/dev/sdd1, IFINDEX=0

The previous "doing addon-storage" for /dev/sdc (the 4Gb HD) does not have a similar osspec.c line.

I hope this helps. Thanks for your attention!
