Problems with USB Stick and HAL

Hi

I don't know which forum is the right one. Maybe somebody can move the tread into the riht one.

I want to make 2 partition USB Stick with one crypted partition. One Partition with the tools to access the 2nd crypted part for different OS.

1st I wrote a new partition table on the stick. 1st part is about 20mb the 2nd about 100mb.
Then I wrote the filesstem on the stick. vfat on the first luks, with vfat on the second

My Problem:
If I plug in the stick hal try to mount the stick, but hal tries to mount /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1

# dmesg | tail
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.
NTFS-fs error (device sda): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid.
NTFS-fs error (device sda): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
NTFS-fs error (device sda): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sda.
VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev sda.
ReiserFS: sda: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on sda
XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed

How to tell HAL to look in /dev/sdaxx for valid filesystems?
