Could this be something that occurred in a very recent change? I
recently (two weeks ago) purchased a Memorex 1 GB TravelDrive and
transferred some files to it under WinXP, and had been using it on the
same system (dual booting) with FC6 x86_64 at home. About a week ago, it
suddenly stopped working properly in FC6; while watching with the
Nautilus "Computer" window open, the drive gets mounted and unmounted
immediately, but there are no error messages, nothing unusual in dmesg
or /var/log/messages. Initially I waved it off as some crashed driver,
but after multiple reboots over the last week, without any success in
FC6 I began to suspect there was something wrong with the drive.
However, it continues to work in WinXP AND it works on a FC5 x86 machine
I have at work.
I'll try to get a copy of the dmesg output and anything related from
/var/log/messages later on today.

Greetings all;
I just mounted, as a vfat filesystem, a 64meg usb key/stick, wrote one file
to it on a debian/kubuntu 6.06 LTS system, unmounted it and and brought it in
here and plugged it into the FC6 box, on a usb1.1 hub also, but I cannot mount it.
usb_storage is loaded according to lsmod. Here is the stanza from the log when I plug it in:

And of course sg4 is assumed to be the loader robot for the 5th robotic scsi
tape drive the last I knew.
Shouldn't it be available as /dev/sda1? It always has been before, quite a few times.
Kernel is 2.6.21.1-cfs-v10
