I got the same problem here. There is a quick work-around this: When /dev/sda is available you can do cfdisk as root this will somehow display the proper partition table (fdisk wont) and everything is ready (/dev/sda1 is created). I suspect the problem is in chipset driver because the same usbstick works fine on same kernel/other chipset. Have just tested with other usbstik it was recognized directly. On 256Mb Kingmax the kernel fails to read the partition table, but with 128Mb Kingmax it works fine. On the other hand the 256 MB stik works fine on other hardvare ... this is strange
