[gentoo-user] Konqueror/KDE3.4.1/udev - media:/ won't browse removable usb devices

[Robert S]

I have just installed KDE 3.4.1.  I've got udev and the latest 2.6.12
kernel on an amd64.  I've got my udev rules configured so that my
flash card is seen as a symlink named /dev/usbdrive.  Works fine most
of the time.

If I go to media:/ in konq, it displays my usb drive as "Removeable
Device (usbdrive)", but when I click on it I get a blank window and
the "gear" at the top right-hand corner keeps going round - as if its
loading something.

I'm able to access my usb drive using a device icon on my desktop -
the drive mounts automatically if I click on this.  Also - some of my
usb devices are listed as "hard drives" and there is no "safely
remove" option when I right click on them.

Here is the relevant part of /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules:
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="Flash Disk      ", SYSFS{vendor}="USB     ",
NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbdrive"

.. and here is the relevant part of /etc/fstab:

/dev/usbdrive           /mnt/usb        vfat            rw,noauto,user
         0 0

Have I not installed something vital?
