In case the FS is indeed valid (I know you said it works somewhere else, but 
does it still work now? maybe something happened to it), it could be that you 
don't have the needed relevant USB module loaded (uhci-hcd, ehci-hcd or 
ohci-hcd) - lspci(8) could help you with which one from them to choose.

It could still be the issue I am talking about (the fact that I know a warning 
doesn't say it'll always appear - personally I use a gentoo kernel, not 
debian, so my kernel is pretty custom...). If there's a way for you to check 
the .config of the kernel you have running (like zcat /proc/config.gz if your 
kernel supports it), you can grep there for CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_862=y (862 = 
Hebrew). I would check this anyways, just to be sure. :)

Besides the above two, I have no further ideas, sorry.
