[gentoo-user] USB stick recognition problem

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

since a few weeks I have a strange effect with my USB stick.

According to fdisk there is one partition on it
/dev/sde1              38     7839719     3919841    b  W95 FAT32

which I haven't changed for a long time.

Whenever I insert this stick, the kernel log shows
/dev/sde  but not /dev/sde1  (and there is no file /dev/sde1)

After Invoking fdisk /dev/sde with a simple 'p' command but nothing 
else, this device shows up.

Has anybody an idea what's going on here?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
