more 10.0 usb woes

I recently re-installed 10.0 OSS on my system, getting rid of my 3GB windows partition completely. After a bunch of little issues that I figured out myself, I am completely stumped. I installed from a USB cdrom drive, and that worked fine. In the partiton options, it detected the two USB drives that are connected to my laptop. Then after the install is completed, I look at "My Computer" it shows all my USB devices...but when I click them

Code:

Could not mount device.

The reported error was:

mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

this is the output of dmesg (this message is the only one...repeated over and over again, with slight variances):

Code:

Any ideas?

you have a usb card plugged in now? do you have a mount point for the usb? unplug the usb and plug it back in. then type dmesg. Also make sure your /mnt matches fstab

The results from dmesg are network messages.

since I can't edit my post... :P

lsusb shows nothing at all:

and lspci:

Did you try unplugging and plugging the usb stick?
try this at a prompt

# lsscsi

lssci = same as lsbusb

here's some stuff from the very top of dmesg:

replugging does nothing at all.
