And I don't want them all mounted either.
I found the following resolved the problem for me (from an oldish thread):
maybe related to this https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-May/msg00935.html
IIRC (?)
Old stuff:
Fedora 7 has a file called
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi to prevent this from happening, here's its contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="false"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="false"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
If that file is no longer there in Fedora 8, try adding it and see if that helps.

I believe HAL does not try to mount partitions/devices that are in /etc/fstab, so I added an entry for the partition to /etc/fstab with "noauto".
For example, I have the following line in mine:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g rw,noauto 0 0
