When I set in my usbdisk in the computer it doesn't detects... not in fdisk or nothing.
In debian it was autodetected directly, I had then though a working gnome-volume-manager but it can't be any difference... can it?
Do someone know how to fix my problem?

You can try a
Code:
ls /sys/block
with and without the USB disk connected - when it's connected it should show up as sda, sdb or the like.

If it doesn't then you're missing a module needed for USB disk access, otherwise you just need to configure your automounter correctly.

The usbdisk is not on that list.
What module is needed to load? On my Debian system it was mounted perfectly with that kernel I had there. And I have the same configuration on my kernel now that I had then.
lsmod:
usbcore 118020 8 usb_storage,usbkbd,usbhid,usbmouse,ohci_hcd,ehci
lsusb:
Bus 005 Device 007: ID 0781:5151 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Micro 256/512MB Flash Drive

What do you have running for hardware detection??

Is hald, dbus, udev, hotplug, installed/running???

Try ....
Code:

/etc/ # rc-status default


If certain services aren't running, a new block device will just sit there (which is what it sounds like is happening), even if modules are loaded.
