You're not alone. It's known kernel bug (at least since 01/2005) and I just filed a bug [1] against the linux-image-2.6.16-1-686. The work around : compile a new kernel without the options that cause the bug. (partition type detection should start by dos-like partitions for usb keys to work) When you configure the kernel build, go to "File systems > Partition Types" and remove *every* partition type you don't use. Especially "CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA".
Yes, compiling a custom kernel with CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION not set fixed this bug for me. Thanks!
