CompactFlash

[Peter Lesterhuis]

Hi,
I used to see an icon appear on my screen when I plugged a 
CompactFlash-card into my pc. Now suddenly I can't get it mounted. It 
looks like it isn't detected at all. In /media/ there is no sign of it.
The only thing I changed recently is the removal of all the header-files 
in /var/spool/up2date. This directory contained 72 MB, so I thought is 
was a good idea to clean it up. Still I don't think this has anything to 
do with the CF-card not mounting.
Is it a problem with udev?
Another thing I noticed is that during booting the mouse is not 
responsive until "searching for new hardware". After this item it works 
as usual. This used to be different until an few days ago.
Could somebody give me a hint?
Thanks, Peter.
