Hi
Who's interested:
I had trouble using my USB stick. It couldn't be mounted beause of an
error like Ressource or device busy.
I figure out that I am nhot the only one with such a problem.
After a long discussion with the bugzilla of suse 10.0, someone gave me
the right help:
The layout of my stick was wrong. The first 64k should be formatted with 0.
Most of the *nix formatting tools don't do it, I don't know why.
I used parted to write a new partition table on iot and then do a mkfs.vfat.
Now, all goes fine and the stick is correctly mounted.
The only inconvinience is that it no more supports full bandwith while
accessing.

I find this hard to believe...
Does your stick work with the "other" OS? If yes, it's another case of
"wrong problem location"... not that the OtherOS is better or whatever,
but if THAT works, then SuSE cannot claim that your stick is "wrong"...

I have "huge" doubts as to this "solution"...
sounds very fishy to me
