you completely lost me here... in what way does configure need to be
"fixed"? it sounds like you're doing something wrong.

if you get the error: "mount_all: no device for udi=%s: %s", then it
means

libhal_device_get_property_string (ctx, udi, "block.device", &error) 

is failing... why? I do not know... as the error string is not being
properly set by HAL apparently.

Error: UDI '/dev/sda1' does not exist

that's an error from something other than g-v-m, so no idea what tht is
coming from... perhaps pmount-hal?
