Hello List,
This problem occurs since a few months, and I'm struggling to solve it.
The system is debian/lenny (kde/kdm) on a dual core Intel PC.
Inserting a usbstick for the FIRST TIME after logging in via kdm results
in a delay of about 10 minutes before the kde-mount-screen appears!
Then everything works OK. All next inserts work normal.
(I regrettably have to restart the X-server on each logout, so
with each login the X-server is also reset. So maybe the 10 minute delay
is triggered by the X-server reset. But how?)
The devices are always directly created upon insertion (here /dev/sdb1),
and pmount can be used directly. There never is any warning or error to be
found.
Here some debugging info from hald
OUTPUT from hald from /var/log/daemon.log:

Note the 10 minute delay between the hald-probe-storage and the "OK for method
'Mount'.
OUTPUT from hald in nodeamon and verbose mode (different attempt):

=======
The ++++++' stands for the 10 minutes of silence ....
And after that silence the screen appears.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Again note that there never is any warning or error to be found.
How could the 10 minute delay be triggered?
Is it an udev-rule problem?
(at some point I had package dmsetup (devicemapper setup) installed and after
fiddling with its udev-rules it seemed to work (once).
Now dmsetup is not installed anymore)
Thanks in advance.
