HAL starts fine.nothing wrong found.but,it fails to mount cd/dvd drives or USB drives. my /etc/fstab DVD drive entry looks like below: /dev/dvd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 Additional info: * package version(s) ***extra/hal 0.5.10-1 *extra/hal-info 0.20071212-1 ***extra/dbus 1.0.2-4 ***extra/dbus-glib 0.74-1 ***extra/dbus-qt3 0.62-3 * config and/or log files etc. /etc/hal got no files except directories: /etc/hal/fdi oot /etc/hal/fdi # ls information policy preprobe ^these directories and nothing,no config files inside Steps to reproduce: install via ftp method.install xorg,install as "pacman -S kdemod " +++++++++++++++++++++++ Fix that woked for me: as per archwiki,I have made a file: /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi with below contents and saved: ____________________________________ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="storage.hotpluggable" bool="false"> <match key="storage.removable" bool="false"> <merge key="storage.automount_enabled_hint" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </match> </device> <device> <match key="block.is_volume" bool="true"> <match key="volume.size" compare_lt="8000000000"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">true</merge> </match> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> <match key="volume.size" compare_ge="8000000000"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">false</merge> </match> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.noatime" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> ____________________________________ restarted archlinux,THIS fixed automount problem for me.

It would be interesting to know how praka123 solved this issue,
either by creating the policy or following my advice ;)
I am the same praka123 (:D)
Yes,after a fresh install,I have to edit
file to include the codes. :(
Yes,my groups are before itself:

including optical group.now I have installed arch via ftp method(minimal) +X+kdemod.in the other machine also(a c2d 1GB ) the same problem HAL does not automount any drives/usb drives :(
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi with above contents are necessary :| for every new box :(
please fix.
thank you to all :)
