If the disk shows up like /dev/sdd, but the partitions don't show up
(like /dev/sdd1), it might help to do an fdisk /dev/sdd and then to
quit fdisk (without writing). For some reason, that might make the
partition visible --- I've found that problem after upgrading to
2.6.24.9, with both an USB stick and an USB disk.
