Do any other of your usb devices work? Is it just the flash drive? Is the flash drive in your /etc/fstab file? Is automout failing to
mount it correctly and then leaving a stale mount floating on you
system preventing you from using it anymore till a reboot? I know its
been a while, but I have a different mainboard and am not having a
problem with my flash drive. (...but mind you I have 3 usb hubs and
about 10devices that run usb..)

I have a MSI K7-Delta Motherboard with an n-Force 2 chipset. When I insert my flas drive the led(for the flash drive) goes on for only about 3 seconds and dies when I try to mount it, it seeks and after a while says that the drive is no longer available. Other computers I tried it on has no problem in mounting the drive. Could someone please tell me what I could do to fix this.
I saw the same symptoms with a device (http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2739). I finally gave up on it, reported it as unsupported, and ordered another from a different vendor.
Have you checked to see if the device is known to be compatible (or not)? http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/.
Have you tried it under a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? I am finding out that 2.6 kernels have USB related problems 2.4 kernels do not.

I don't use automount with FC1 as it wasn't reliable. I added a few lines to /etc/fstab to mount memory sticks. All the Nikon camera's that I have used mounted automatically.
I played a couple of days to get automount to work but it wasn't worth the headache to me. Same on my home computer running FC1.
