There is no floppy in media:/ under KDE (kdebase 3.5.4-5) with hal-0.5.7.1-1. Downgrading to hal-0.5.7-2 makes it working. Is it a bug or something wrong with my configuration?

Does the floppy device show up in the output of lshal (search for floppy).
Please post the output of the floppy device section for both 0.5.7.1 and 0.5.7, these sections should be different in this case.

When I have hal 0.5.7-2:
lshal -l -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0

When I install hal 0.5.7.1-1 there is only
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0
there is no
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage
And when I type
lshal -l -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0'
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0' (string)

What kernel do you use?

I'm missing my floppy the same way too

yup, same here. mounting from cli works properly, though.
what goes up must come down

Same issue here. Just updated kde and hal (pacman -Syu) today and the floppy icon disappeared.
Please note that a previous bug in kde was supposed to be solved in 3.5.4 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120619
Look at posts 29 & 32. Could that be a hint to look at hal configuration?

I just posted about this, except I'm using Gnome.

Any solutions as yet?

A bug has been filed for this. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5377
A new patched version of hal has just been released by the developpers and solves the bug. Thanks to them all.
Please mark this thread as [solved]

hal-0.5.8.1-1.pkg.tar.gz doesn't solve the problem in my case. Or maybe you mind other 'new version' of hal.

Have you added the "floppy" module to your rc.conf MODULE= list? (Since kernel 2.6.18, if you don't do that, floppies are broken. And as hal 0.5.8.1 was introduced at the same time kernel 2.16.18 was, I guess you have this new kernel).
