Minor problem. Running ATI 9600 on Slackware 12 with Kernel 2.6.21.5-SMP running fine. Have the latest ATI linux driver installed:
Some of my usb devices didn't come up on the last boot after I tried to activate vesa support in lilo.conf!
Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/hda15
label = slack12.0
read-only # Partitions should be mounted read-only for checking
# vga=773
# Linux bootable partition config ends
When I commented out the vga=773, my usb devices came back online? I'll get you a dmesg before & after for you to inspect. Feel free to point out the blatant obvious to me!
dmesg of working usb devices (commented vga)

EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
it's all a little too mind boggling for me... i don't think activating vesa support in my lilo.conf should cause this conflict... by the way it's the vmlinuz-generic-smp-2.6.21.5-smp under slackware 12 with the latest patches from slackware.com applied.
Good luck with this:-) I don't think this is a problem with Slack 12, but, rather something with your configuration. On my Plll 800 system with an 18 GB scsi HD I have no difficulties with auto-mounting my SD USB memory stick, CDs also auto-mount just fine.
I think some of you are being too tough on pappy_mcfae. He is frustrated, and rightly so in my opinion, because I am having a similar experience. I have a 120 USB hard disk with two partions: sdb1 is W95 fat32, 20 gigs, and sdb2 is ext3 100 gigs. I added my user to all the requisite groups in /etc/group, but when I plug in the drive kde mounts the fat partition with my user's ownership (mcole:users), and the ext3 partition with root:root. This happens even if I make entries in /etc/fstab and try to mount it manually. Here are some examples:
By the way, this is with hal and d-bus disabled, but the results are the same with them running.
Bottom line: only root can write to wd, no matter what settings I change. I have to agree with pappy_mcfae, I never had this much trouble with slack 11.
mscole: try to change the file system from auto to ext3 (who knows) and see if you get the same results mounting manually ( just mount /mnt/wd as your user )
Outside of all that detail, all I am saying is that when I included a "vga=773" inside my lilo.conf, 1/2 my usb devices no longer mounted... These are two completely separate functions of the kernel. The vga-773 apparently activates frame buffer support, it should in no way knock out my usb connections. Unless there are things about HAL that I don't understand yet... Am I under the impression that with HAL I no longer need entries in /etc/fstab??? In any event, I think it's an issue with HAL and/or Slack 12 and thats why I posted all that info here (to be of help) as I am pretty sure this is either a bug or oversight. It's like saying when I brushed my teeth last night my car got a flat today... that kind of thing.
Thanks for the help none-the-less!
- Perry
ps.
In the meantime, I simply commented it out for now, given the many many addictive things I am discovering with my newfound toys... it's 1:30 in the morning, I've been at it since 8:00 this (yesterday) morning! I think I've fallen in love with my P.C. all over again! Check it out!

An ext3 filesystem contains it's permissions, unless you set gid and uid in fstab, it will mount and use the owners it currently has. Just mount it, chown with root to your user, umount and mount again.
PD: Perry, i'd recommend you to try ntfs-3g (which uses fuse) instead of kernel's ntfs. And try fdisk -l to see if Linux actually sees some partitions on those failing drives.

installed NTFS-3G and FUSE
seem to have it working. Here's my /etc/fstab entries so far:
Now you'd think that this is a sinch, just change all the sdc to sdd and wella, home sweet home. What the kernel will do is go back to claiming that the devices are now sdc. So like, what am I missing here? Now I can get write access to /media/<device> but not with dropline gnome... oh yes, thats right, dropline gnome is ALPHA!!!!
It's a learning curve day... I can just feel it.
Thanks again,
- perry
ps.
I still say it's a bug in the kernel.
UPDATE - It's a Dropline problem (i'll send an email).
Turns out dropline is not detecting file access but still allowing the operation even though the menu item is *somewhat* grayed out. So it works, albeit a little quirky as I simply commented out the fstab entries to see what HAL would do!
...I want to thank you for your vote of confidence.

And your experience is no longer one I am going to endure. I have removed Slackware 12. I can see no earthly reason why I should deal with the new and exciting bugs contained in Slack-12. If that drops me from purist status, I'll have to accept that.
I can appreciate that some people had a lot of trouble with Slack-11, and that hal is helpful for accessing certain media. However, I have yet to have any problem at all accessing any media I use. Even if I did have a problem, the fact that I can also dual-boot means I can use any media that is supported by Windoze XP. I also have a FAT partition so I can transfer files back and forth between Linux and Windoze. I can understand that some people won't have anything to do with M$.
However, I fail to see why Slackware had to make hal a mandatory thing. Why not make it an option; one installed by those who need it? In my situation, hal has added more trouble than it fixed. How could they not know that it might cause some problems? It had to be problematic on some of their systems. It simply had to be!
You are right, I am frustrated by the new iteration of Slackware. I used Slackware in 1994, when it barely filled 100 megs of hard drive space. It has always had a reputation as rock-solid and stable. While Slack-11 has never failed to set up, even on a damaged hard drive, and a Pentium 133 Compaq Laptop, Slack-12 has yet to set up and operate properly on systems that are once again happily running Slack-11. I can't help but think that means there's a problem with Slack-12, not with my machines, or opinions of Slack-12
It really doesn't matter to me. Slack-11 works just fine. All of my machines are running 2.6.22.1 version kernels; each specifically set up for the machine in question. Until such time as Slackware releases a fix for those of us who didn't need hal, I'll just stick with Slack-11.
How could they not know that it might cause some problems? It had to be problematic on some of their systems. It simply had to be!
I'm willing to bet money that it wasn't. I don't think Pat would have released it if he had any problems with it.

Your posts are mostly full of rhetoric, so it is hard to pick out the facts, but it appears that the extent of your problem is that you can't "click" on the root partition and have it displayed in Konqueror while running as root.
Did you try typing "/" into the address bar of Konqueror to see what happens?
I strongly believe that your problems stem from running as root. If you really have been using Slackware for 13 years, you will know why running as root is a bad idea. Apart from that, HAL is specifically designed to run without root privileges.
Anyhow, it's your computer. Do as you please with it.

I've found the Dropline guys to be very helpful. Some of them post here. It'd be interesting to know what the actual cause of your problem was.

Well, I haven't had any problems with Slack 11 or 12. I greatly appreciate the improvements that Pat has made in 12. The auto-mounting feature of media is very slick.
I strongly suspect that you have something wrong with your set-up.
