    Have you upgraded your kernel? My USB disk key worked fine with FC2's
    shipped kernel (2.6.5) but stopped working when I upgraded the kernel. I
    haven't been able to read from my USB disk key since which is very
    frustrating!

    I think this bug is the one I'm suffering from:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128932.

    (As Darragh says: check /var/log/messages when you plug your key to see
    what is or isn't happening).
