[arch-general] HAL issues

[Zack]

This will likely fix the problem for you. Put this in
/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf and restart hal, /etc/rc.d/hal restart.

<config version="0.1">
<match user="yourusername">
    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
        <return result="yes" />
    </match>
    <match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
                <return result="yes" />
        </match>
        <match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
                <return result="yes" />
        </match>
</match>
</config>
