Something strange happened here. After serveral boots the trick did not work any more. |

# `gnome-volume-manager &` |

However |
| 28 |
# ls /media |
| 29 |
disk |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
still showing one mount point of the partitions (the HD on USB enclosure has 2 partitions, both on ext3). Another disk-1 disappeared. But it has not mounted. I have to run; |
| 32 |
# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I haven't figured out the cause. I made several tests with the same result. |

I'm running gnome-light of version 2.14.2. I'm prepared to install the full gnome. But I haven't figured out whether just run; |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
# emerge -av gnome |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
OR |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
# emerge --unmerge gnome-light && emerge gnome |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I have installed some packages on gnome-light |

I read this thread before on sorting out the problem of the mobo (ASUS A8N-VM) on this Gentoo box. The mouse pointer always hangs if without adding "noapic" on the line on "grub.conf" booting the kernel |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
I also came across another thread; |

|
| 65 |
At this juncture I can't ascertain whether my problems encountered coming from the software or the mobo. |
