I have grab your update hal.diff, I had to manual (no big deal) patch on  
three Makefile.in. The three patches in files/patch-*Makefile.in don't  
apply clean. Anyway, here are complete info from FAQ and your other email.  
I kept blank DVD+R in drive, so it shows the difference between old and  
new.

=====================================================

The typescript came from '/usr/local/sbin/hald --daemon=no  
--verbose=yes'.. As for the gnome-mount, I am getting this:

=====================================================
% gnome-mount --block --no-ui --verbose --hal-udi  
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial__
gnome-mount 0.6

** (gnome-mount:23667): WARNING **: Drive  
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial__ does not contain media.

% gnome-mount --block --no-ui --verbose --hal-udi  
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_NEC_DVD_RW_ND_3550A
gnome-mount 0.6

** (gnome-mount:23668): WARNING **: Given device  
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_NEC_DVD_RW_ND_3550A' is not a  
volume or a drive.
=====================================================

I had to use two different /org/freedesktop/Hal/[...] since I don't know  
which one is more correct to use for gnome-mount --hal-udi.

Nope, I can't burn anything to blank CD/DVD.
