You might need to run fdisk /dev/sd? then mkfs.* /dev/sd?? . If you don't have a /dev/sd? , check your kernel for SCSI block device support.
I have "generic scsi" support and there doesn't seem to be anything to do with scsi in block devices... the usb key works fine under windows, is formatted in vfat and has data on it. There are a whole bunch of /dev/sd?s but trying to mount to any of them gives me "not a valid block devices".
