My flashdisk works under 2.6.6. So you can try that.

I tried the latest kernel 2.6.9 from debian unstable. As soon as I
plugged in the disk, the machine froze. Thankfully, unplugging it
brought back the machine to life.

Compiled my own kernel (2.6.9). The flash disk worked well. No problems.
But, nvidia drivers do not install. Googling for that showed similar
I also tried compiling vanilla 2.6.9 which went okay. I then tried to build nvidia driver but got an error of something like __VMALLOC_RESERVE was undefined. Googling a bit suggested I put this line in /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv.c : 
unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE;
Putting is just after the include statements worked fine -- module-assisstant successfully built the module. You may try that too if that is the problem you are encountering. 




problems faced by many and solution does not seem to be there. Applying
ck patch also did not help.

So, for me it is back to either 2.6.6 or 2.4.x.
I am using 2.6.7 debian kernel and USB sticks and flash card readers work fine for me. Since I started using udev, they also get mounted and unmounted automatically. If anyone wants details on how to do that, just let me know. Haven't tried that in 2.6.9 (vanilla) though.
