USB device plugged in at boot is not detected
 

Hello,
if a usb device is plugged in at boot I need to unplug and re-plug for it to be detected. As far as I know I've installed hotplug and gnome-volume-manager packages. I'm using debian etch with gnome. Can anyone advise what I need to do.Thanks.

Are you sure it doesn't show up in places/computer?. My Ubuntu is a virtual machine inside of Windows, so I can't test your situation.
My other systems use KDE, the drive won't be mounted at boot-up, but an icon for it is in System through an icon on the desktop, just click on it and it gets mounted, then cruise through it's directories.

Hi,
no nothing shows up, and its for any USB device I use, except my USB CDROM which shows up fine :s
