There's nothing obviously wrong in the logs, except that the USB key 
refused to respond to a READ command until it was unplugged and 
reconnected.  The computer did exactly the same things both times, and the 
key responded the second time but not the first.

Without knowing what's wrong with the key, it's hard to say what can be 
done to work around the problem.  One possibility is to increase the 
length of the delay before Linux tries to use the key.

If you have usb-storage built as a module, you can raise the delay to 10 
seconds (for example) by adding a line that says

options usb-storage delay_use=10

to /etc/modprobe.conf.  If you have usb-storage compiled into the kernel, 
you can get the same effect by adding

        usb-storage.delay_use=10

to the boot command line.
