When I plug my (recently acqpired) USB thumb drive into my machine, it doesn't get it's sd[i]xn[i] device node automatically...

I have to go into the /dev/ folder and physically display the contents of /dev/sda/ to get sda1 to show up... Why?!

Is there something I did wrong? Any fix I need to apply? I can give dmesg stuff if you want...

Code:
 # dmesg | tail -n 30
sd: Current: sense key=0x6
    ASC=0x28 ASCQ=0x0
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: Unit Not Ready, sense:
: Current: sense key=0x6
    ASC=0x28 ASCQ=0x0
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
sda : status=1, message=00, host=0, driver=08
sd: Current: sense key=0x6
    ASC=0x28 ASCQ=0x0
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: Unit Not Ready, sense:
: Current: sense key=0x6
    ASC=0x28 ASCQ=0x0
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
sda : status=1, message=00, host=0, driver=08
sd: Current: sense key=0x6
    ASC=0x28 ASCQ=0x0
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
 /dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0:end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
 unable to read partition table
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 0
usb-storage: device scan complete
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 14


That is multiple plug & unplugs, I don't know what's going on but perhaps "unable to read partition table" has something to do with it?

Solved: I needed to add HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) to my runlevel. works beautifully now.
