[Bug 564459] Re: USB devices not detected when hotplugged

[Thespian]

Adding one more note.  The other fixes mentioned in other threads also
didn't work for me.  Including them here in case this symptom has
multiple causes, and they may be of use to others watching this bug.

One was to disable floppy controller in bios (done, no effect) and the
other was to have only "hal" and "pmount" packages installed, and _not_
"usbmount"  (supposedly 'usbmount' was causing some sort of conflict).
I had only "hal" installed, so tried adding "pmount" and still no luck.

I'm not even seeing the device show up under /dev when I plug the book
in, so can't see an easy way to mount it at all.  Going to try one more
reboot, this time with the USB device plugged in before booting (cold
boot) which some other reports seem to say still works.  If that does,
at least I'll have a way to get to my data.
