appears to be a lot of rumours ans multiple bug reports here but this looks like the one for not auto mounting I'm not sure it is a tifm module issue as HAL responds correctly on card insertion see below

I have rebuilt the tifm modules from

http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en...12/xx21_driver

to replace the hopelessly buggy stock 2.6.20 kernel

All is good and installing the card gives

so all is good manual mounting the card works a treat to but feisty will not automount on insertion
this is a retrograde for edgy as with the .6 drivers it worked.

I suspect this is a mmc problem as

lshal -m gives

Start monitoring devicelist:

pci_104c_8033_mmc_host added

on card insertion so why doesn't fiesty react to the hal event ??
