You're not alone. It's known kernel bug (at least since 01/2005) and I just filed a bug [1] against the linux-image-2.6.16-1-686. The work around : compile a new kernel without the options that cause the bug. (partition type detection should start by dos-like partitions for usb keys to work) When you configure the kernel build, go to "File systems > Partition Types" and remove *every* partition type you don't use. Especially "CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA". I'm sure the kernel maintainers will find a better solution than recompile the kernel, but that work-around worked for me. Ch.
