[ale] automatic updates = confused user

[Sean Kilpatrick]

Before I went off to Thailand for my son's wedding, when I
plugged a USB storage device into the computer, the automounter
bits and pieces more or less worked.  I could mount the device
and access the files.
Come back from Thailand and plug in the card reader (with card)
and -- nothing.
the only log entry is this:

kernel: usb 5-2.4: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3

I sure could use a clue on how to mount this thing so I can get to work
on all of the wedding pictures.

This is a FC 4 system and a recent update obviously has -- ahem -- changed
some things.  Before things changed the log message would tell me that the
system saw the USB device as /dev/sdb1 or sdb2, or whatever.
Now I have no clue.
