I rebuild a custom kernel, mainly disabling CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA
(and removing many unusefull things for me, like appletalk, fddi etc)
(with linux-source-2.6.16 and make-kpkg)

This solved the problem : I must disable CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA
to be able to use my USB key. Part of syslog:

What do you think is the best way to fix that issue ? Patching the upstream kernel ?
Is this the best place to discuss that kind of problems ? Should I use the BTS ?
