|
|
Hello everybody,
I have a strange problem with my gentoo notebook after an emerge -puvND world including a kernel upgrade to the latest stable release (2.6.25-gentoo-r9)
The hardware seems to be all correctly recognized and working, but not exactly as before.
On this notebook, I use mainly 3 'removable' storage devices:
- CD/DVD
- USB memories/disks
- SD Card
Please note that all of them can be mounted manually without errors.
The problem is in KDE where only USB memories are correctly intercepted by KDE device manager with a pop-up window asking what to do with it and displaying the device in the panel applet.
CD-ROM and SD card are not detected.
And, in KDE Storage Media (system:/media) anything is listed (neither the main disk partitions...), while I was used to see icons for Vista, Boot, '/' plus CD-Rom, SD and USB when inserted.
However, these two devices have different behaviors:
- dmesg: when SD is inserted or removed I can see informations about /dev/mmcblk0, while anything for CD/DVD
- lshal -m -> no informations on SD or CD/DVD (while I see correct infos when plugging and unplugging USB memories)
With the last emerge udev was update to a newer version as well.
My system is almost all stable except few packages (virtualbox, portage, udev, mozilla-firefox, nvidia-drivers, iwl4965-ucode)
Kernel configuration is still complete (genkernel -all, excluding paravirtualization for nvidia)
It seems I have lost some KDE or hal setting....
Is there someone who already experienced a problem like this with a solution?
Some of the packages installed on my system:
Code: |
sys-fs/udev-130-r1
app-misc/hal-info-20080508
sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-1
dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old-0.70
sys-apps/dbus-1.2.3-r1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r9

[EDIT]
Solution was simpler than expected...
I just emerge the latest (~x86) version of hal and now all the media are detected |
