Paul, I was having the same problem in 10.2 rc2 with cooker upgrade. So
I set the append line in lilo to noapic & nolapic and on boot with the
device plugged in or plugging in after It is detected and accessable.

Oh man, if I would read and not jump...... any chance you went to
console and typed in as "su" mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk ? or look
in MCC and see what harddrake calls the device. HTH
Thanks, Dennis, but I do not understand quite well what you mean. Yes,
if I run the command
mount /media/usbdisk
then, I can use my flash disk.

Right, this seems to be the way 10.1 works. It must first have a removable
drive mounted and then it will allow it to be read. 10.2 has changed this and
works much better for hotplugging. 10.2 should be out in a few days now.
On my system, a stock 10.1, with the standard upgrades, but not with KDE
upgraded to a newer version, plugging in a flash drive results in it
being mounted on /mnt/removable, and I am able to access it without
problem. But people that have upgraded KDE have run into problems
because of the other packages that need to be upgraded to use the new
KDE packages. It seams to break the 10.1 hotplug setup...
