The problem seems to be that the USB stick is recognized as a USB block
device (/dev/ub*) instead of an SCSI disk device (/dev/sd*). The udev
rules do not contain any by-id symlink creation rules for ub* devices.

I would check if the stock Debian 2.6.25 kernel shows the same behavior
for this particular USB stick. If the Debian kernel works normally then
you can diff the result of "grep USB" for the two kernel configuration
files to find out where the problem with your kenel is.
