Hi,

I'm trying to diagnose an issue with a USB "Memory Key" (128Mb Flash drive)
on my workstation (i386 Linux 2.6.12 kernel, using udev 058).

When connecting the key, the kernel fails to read the partition table, and
therefore the block device /dev/sda1 isn't created, so I can't mount the
volume. Calling "fdisk" manually, however, makes it all work.

Hi all,

Just a "vote" for this: same USB key, same symptoms, same inability to use the key: I can create the fs and use it, but once unmounted it won't be mounted anymore.

Bye
