Let's try "user,sync,umask=0,noauto,quiet,noauto" If you don't do that, doing mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey > Feb 11 11:08:48 gericke kernel: FAT: unable to read boot sector > Feb 11 11:08:48 gericke kernel: FAT: freeing iocharset=utf8 > Feb 11 11:08:48 gericke devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted Disk issues? I seriously suggest, mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbkey and seeing it work.
