It was for me.

There are certain things that get handled by default by Udev and so on,
but others that don't.

Google everything on udev you can find, and then examine the commands
udevinfo, udevmonitor and the like.

What is PROBABLY happening is that the default setup is recognising the
device and assigning it a pseudo-scsi ID, but that isn't being picked up
and explicitly mounted.

However its a bit of a minefield and YMMV.

Have look at log - /var/log/messages - as you insert the drive and see
what gets spat out there.

I have testing distro debian here also. Will try and help if I can.
