Hey Fred. Is the USB key in question formatted with a FAT partition by chance? If so, you may need to load the vfat module as root, or, build vfat (Windows FAT32) filesystem support into your kernel, or perhaps, add an entry for the USB key in your /etc/fstab if you already have vfat support.

Good. According to processed events, there is a raw disk dedected properly but no partition processed. If you still do not see /dev/sda, try to look for your disk at folowing locations: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*something* and /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*something*-part1 or
