I will have a look at syslog when I get back home. I have monitored
/var/log/messages and that's where I watched the pendrive and the MP3
being recognized and and the /dev/sd* being assigned to them.
Also, there's the fact that a simple 'pmount /dev/sda1' (for example) or
a 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/whatever' will mount the drives with
no problems whatsoever.
I have definitely updated packages, and even fiddled around with
downgrading some from sid to lenny to try and make it work as before, to
no avail. I also use a compiled 2.6.21 kernel, but I have tried the
latest stock one (2.6.18, IIRC) and had the same results.
Thanks!
