I assume you are doing a manual mount
What is the command you are using (with all parameters)?

Manual mount succeeds, but auto mounting via HAL fails is a known problem:|

You need to install the debug codes. Then run backtrace on it.
How, to do that
AS i am having serious issues, just few minutes back i had a kernel panic.
all three led lights on Keyboard were flashing again & again.
system didn't respond at all, i was in a X session so couldn't see the errors.

now how do i backtrace and debug it?

gary4gar, use Gnome na... It's stable on Arch.

buddy, whatever DE i use, i always get those haunted bugs.
previously on Ubuntu, i was getting Soft lockups :p

Seems like hardware problem, remove your RAM and clean it up with dry cloth.

check the HDD cables.

My PC got infested with Zombies last night due to RAM module. I just cleaned it and now it works well.

Surprising part is these error always occur in Linux, my pc runs windows xp without any so called "Zombies".:eek:

First install ntfs-3g package.
Then edit /etc/fstab file to use module ntfs-3g instead of ntfs
Then set various options as follows :

my sample fstab file :

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE907033338-part9 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD1600BEVS-_WD-WXE907033338-part8 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
/dev/sda6 /mnt/win_e ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
/dev/sda7 /mnt/win_f ntfs-3g umask=0,users,nls=utf8,rw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

Be careful to edit lines pertaining to ntfs partitions only. As root make sure to create appropriate mount folders

Take a backup of your current fstab file first.

After editing fstab and creating mount folders, don't forget to reboot.
If you follow steps correctly, the partitions will be auto-mounted in read-write mode during each boot.

Good Luck

In 4.1.0 it could be resolved by adding entries to /etc/fstab but that workaround doesnt work anymore since 4.1.1. I've got HAL version 0.5.11-r3, doesn't fix. Maybe I'll try patching with the available patch there..

Right click on the Folder you wish to place into the Places sidebar and click "Add to Places".
