Isn't the mounting done by the hal daemon?

Just looking at the last line of syslog after plugging in a 256MB

Also:

trantor:/var/log# mount | grep -i kingston
/dev/sda on /media/KINGSTON256 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,flush,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower)

and:

trantor:/var/log# blkid /dev/sda
/dev/sda: LABEL="KINGSTON256" UUID="0038-9E3A" TYPE="vfat"

Note /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 which may be something to do with the
"unknown partition table" line in syslog.
