My failure is related, but not similar
A few days ago I seem to have lost /dev/sda0 and /dev/sda1 all together.
So I can't do a thing now w.r.t FLASH USB.

Also, my USB hotplug doesn't detect any USB devices if I plug them
in _after_ the system is booted.  No one has seems to be able to come
to my aid on this issue, although I have submitted a bugzilla on it.
