I got the KDE media:/ working with HAL (great howto on gentoo-wiki, btw), and it knows that the CompactFlash in my card reader (sdb) is a "Removable Device". However, when I plug in my 128MB USB dohickey, KDE sees it as a "Hard Drive" (sda).

I only care because I want to have these two device icons on my desktop, without cluttering it up by having all the hard drive icons on there, too.

I've poked around in the hal configs, but didn't see anything related. Google was similarly dissappionting, probably because anything I search for is either too specific or too vague. Just figured I'd post on here, see if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks!

If this is useful to anyone:
