Problem with Sony Micro Vault 2GB

Hi,

I've got a strange problem  with Sony Micro Vault 2GB usb stick. The flash is working on other computers, both under windows and arch, however, it does not get detected on my laptop (dell XPS1210) and on a freshly installed Arch workstation.
Hal is working and it detects other memory sticks and usb devices, usb kernel modules are loaded, etc.  Below is the output from lsusb and fdisk.

# lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 78.5 GB, 78518522880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9546 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xeede9d79

/dev/sda3             619         740      979965   83  Linux
/dev/sda4             741        9546    70734195    5  Extended
/dev/sda5             741        1956     9767488+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6            1957        9546    60966643+  83  Linux

The only thing  that comes to  my mind is that the problem is sony specific, however, as  I mentioned it does work on another laptop with same version of Arch.

Can anyone give any suggestions how this can be fixed?

Thanks!

Re: Problem with Sony Micro Vault 2GB

Is it formatted using a filesystem that is not (yet) installed on your new Dell-system?

Or wait, that wouldn't explain why it isn't showing up in lsusb or fdisk -l - nevermind...
