Hello, all.

I posted a similar problem a while ago, but the symptoms have changed, as well as the software version, so I'm starting a new thread.

I have enabled pmount and HAL according to a page on the Gentoo wiki site. All my drives are detected properly (no fstab entry), except for my floppy drive. When I put in a floppy in the drive, go to media:/ in konqueror, and click on the floppy icon, it will read from the drive (LED lights up), then it won't display anything. If I hit the Back button or restart konqueror, the floppy drive icon has disappeared. I can use the terminal to view and change the files in /media/floppy, and unmount it as necessary.

Another anomaly: Sometimes the floppy drive does not disappear from media:/. Instead, when I click on it, it will have the same behavior as before, bit will create another floppy directory in /media (floppy-1, floppy-2, etc.), and mount the drive there. Repeating the process causes yet more directories to be created.

This has been a problem in KDE-3.5.2 and now KDE 3.5.5.

Please help.

Thanks!
