Hey all -having a hell of a time with this brand new USB key that i'm SO psyched about but so upset that I can't get working. It's a Kingston brand DataTraveler 512MB USB Drive key.
When I plug the drive in, dmesg reports...
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 14
scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Kingston Model: DataTraveler 2.0 Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 974848 512-byte hdwr sectors (499 MB)

sda: assuming drive cache: write through

Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi8, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 14
When i do a mount command as root...
mount -t vfat /dev/sda /media/usb
I get the following results.. (oh, and /media/usb does exist)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
here's what dmesg says about the mount command...
FAT: invalid media value (0xb9)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sda.
Here's lspci...

What's getting to me is the fact that the device IS aparantly detected via lspci, so the kernel modules seem to be in order. I also have this MicroAdvantage quickdrive - a 128 MB USB drive key and it works fine. This new drive just refuses to work.
Help me Obi Wan Kernel-obi ... you're my only hope
