USB drive does not show in /media (Fedora, Core3)

Yes, I do have a messages log.
Please see below for output when inserting the usbdisk:

Jan 27 00:43:10 hubbabubba kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5

gnome-volume-manager outputs:

libhal.c 911 : Error sending msg: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_usb_device_402_5621_109_-1_noserial_0

I guess the above look ok but I still have no trace of my disk in either /media or /dev

Thinking of reinstalling from scratch with the usbdrive plugged in. Might that be an answer?
Any other ideas are most welcome!

By the way. Hotplug does not seem to be running anymore. How can one start that "service"?

Thanks!

You can start it by typing "/etc/init.d/hotplug restart", but I'm pretty sure it is still running. It just doesn't show up as a process.

Hmm,

I tried that but received the below. I also checked for updates with apt-get but seem to have the latest version installed:

[root@hubbabubba ~]# /etc/init.d/hotplug restart
-bash: /etc/init.d/hotplug: No such file or directory
[root@hubbabubba ~]# apt-get install hotplug

hotplug is already the newest version.
