Unable to mount external USB hard drives
Please note that I found an identical bug report at https:/
After upgrading to Feisty I can no longer mount external USB hard drives. Note that I can mount flash based media with no problems -- they still behave as before.
Upon plugging in a USB drive, the KDE dialog pops up asking me what I'd like to do. When I click 'Open in a new window' nothing happens. Attempts to mount it via Konqueror's storage media view are futile as well. However, attempts to mount the drive manually are successful. If I navigate to the 'Storage Media' screen in Konqueror, and attempt to access the drive (it appears there, unmounted) I receive this error message: `hal-storage-
I get this error with all four of my USB drives.
Below, I have included the /var/log/messages output.

If anyone requires further information from me, please don't hesitate as I imagine this is causing a lot of grief for more than a few people (as evidenced by a few postings in the Ubuntu forums).
