USB Drives mount become a device

My usb flash drives have random decided to not become a device. Basically I put them in, and they get recognized but not deviceified.

Some info:

http://pastebin.com/rgQahfpZ        dmesg
http://pastebin.com/xmK0BHQN      df -l
http://pastebin.com/NU6Lfiv4          fstab
http://pastebin.com/S0ceh4fn        ls /dev

Sorry about the links. I couldn't figure the url function out.

Thanks for your help

Re: USB Drives mount become a device

I don't know, but I had http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL open and it says:

There are a number of factors involved in 'hotplugging' and HAL is only one of them. When a new device is added, e.g. a USB drive is plugged in, the following occurs (roughly):

    * The kernel becomes aware of a new device and registers it in /sys.
    * Udev creates a device node (e.g. /dev/sdb1), and loads the drivers/modules needed.

Re: USB Drives mount become a device

I tried booting with the USB drive in, it still didn't become a device

This seems odd, because dmesg recognizes it but the system doesn't make it a device
