  I don't use automounting.  At times it seems more trouble than it's
worth.  Out of sheer curiousity, if you switch to TTY12 (or equivalant
"tail -f /var/log/messages" and attach a USB key do you see a bunch of
output?

  I'll work on loading Alpine on a spare machine this weekend, and
experiment.
