According to your subject line: all this == nothing What does fdisk -l tell you? Could it be that there are some hardware problems with usb on your sarge system? I had some 'funny' problems with usb hard drives on one of my (older) computers and it turned out that those disappeared, when I connected the usb disk to another computer (different hardware, but same installation/configuration). Otherwise it could also be a configuration issue. I have used many different usb disks on many different sarge systems without problems.
