When I insert by usbstick KDE pops up a message sying "Mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab".
I'm using kernel 2.6.17-ARCH1, udev and autofs.
Automounting works in console-mode though, it creates the directory /media/usbstick, and all my files are there.
Running the mount command outputs:
/dev/hda1 on / type reiserfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda6 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /music type ext3 (rw)
automount(pid3319) on /media type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=3319,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
Seems as the automount(pid3319) should perhaps be called sda1 instead?

Are you running hal daemon or not?
KDE packages are built with hal in mind for automounting. Optionally you can use ivman, but it's not necessary.

yup, I'm running the hal daemon.
Also, the cd won't come out when I click the eject button (on the physical drive).

I had the same problem with KDE+dbus+hal+autofs so i ended up removing autofs and replacing it with ivman.
I also removed any references for removable media from fstab.

I don't have autofs or ivman in my system and automounting works fine for me. So I think all you need to have automounting are dbus,hal and an ideal desktop environment (KDE, GNOME, etc) without any additional configuration.
Maybe only one thing you should take care is to start dbus before hal and hal before kde.

Yeah, looks like you're right! I uninstalled autofs, and now everything works jsut by having hal and dbus running. I don't have automounting in console anymore though, but I don't really care about that either. Thanks!
