Hal has a timeout of 1 minute to wait for ``late'' hotplug events, after that expires it just goes on with the next. The interesting question is why did a certain hotplug event not arrive..
If you plug in you drive, is there still a 20-hal.hotplug process running some time after the timeout has expired ?
I tried doing a 'ps -ef | grep hot' several times (about once per second) from the moment I switched the camera on until the drive was successfully mounted. There was no process with 'hot' in its name at any moment.
