problem with usb disks

[Leon Stringer]

Have you upgraded your kernel? My USB disk key worked fine with FC2's 
shipped kernel (2.6.5) but stopped working when I upgraded the kernel. I 
haven't been able to read from my USB disk key since which is very 
frustrating!

I think this bug is the one I'm suffering from: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128932.

(As Darragh says: check /var/log/messages when you plug your key to see 
what is or isn't happening).
