I'm on Debian unstable with kernel 2.6.14 and KDE 3.5.1.
I know this thing has been discussed over and over lately but I didn't see anything like the problem I'm experiencing riht now with my USB card and the KDE & hal/dbus/udev system.
In fact, everything is almost working, i,e, when I plug my USB card, it appears in KDE system:/media and the correspondant kicker applet and there's a window poping up asking what application I want to run. The only problem is when I try to mount it, it gets mounted in /media/sda1, but I can't access it directly, since Konqueror/KDE is trying to find it in system:/media/sda1. Also, while it is mounted and I can access it just by going in /media/sda1, it is not reported as being mounted in system:/media.
The same problem happens when I try to access my Win XP partition, i.e., it is mounted in /media/hda1, but Konqueror/KDE tries to find it in system:/media/hda1, and it is not reported as being mounted in system:/media
I've tried it with AND without the following fstab entries:

so you're saying it gets mounted at /media/sda1 but you can't access it at /media/sda1 ??
system: is just the url handler, telling Konq how to handle the link, like http or ftp. It used to be media or devices or both, IIRC e.g media:/media/sda1
It sounds like it simply is not handling it properly, probably a corrupt config option as a result of the upgrade
You might try media:/, file:/, or devices:/.
Look in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng/virtual_folders/services for the problem
You must be right, but I can't find the file you're pointing at in my home directory. In fact, there's no "virtual_folders" in my ~/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng.
Following your advice, I've tried to start over from a fresh new .kde folder, like if I was a new user. The same problem happened, which indicates that if it's a config option problem, it does not result from an upgrade from a previous KDE version, but from my KDE installation itself....
