What version of

 - gnome-mount
 - udev
 - hal
 - Linux kernel

are you using? Suggest to use at least CVS HEAD of gnome-mount since
that is what will soon be released as gnome-mount 0.5.

Would be useful with outputs of running

 gnome-mount -t -v -d /dev/sda1

or whatever the device file is.

Sounds like an issue with gnome-volume-manager - if you get the events
with 'lshal --monitor' the hal side of things should be fine.

I've seen Nautilus 2.15.x segfault with the plug-in, however Nautilus
2.14.x works just fine. I'll try to track down alexl to investigate for
fixing this for gnome-mount 0.5, it's probably a gnome-mount thing but
could potentially be a Nautilus issue as well.
