Comment(by frankprindle):

 Where can I get OFW Q2D08? The wiki lists Q2D07 as the latest. Will Q2D08
 work with build 656?

 I have a similar problem with Q2D07 - a 2GB Kingston DataTraveler (that
 comes up as "Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2" in the dmesg,
 and is designated DT100/2GB on the stick itself - on the metal USB plug,
 that is) is not recognized by OFW ("dir disk:\" says unable to read, won't
 boot from, etc) though "p2" shows it is on the USB. AND, if I plug it in
 when sugar is up, it automounts in /media but does not show up in the
 sugar journal as a USB drive.

 It throws the following messages in dmesg:
 FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem
 will be case sensitive!
 FAT: Filesystem panic (dev sda1)     [this message only comes up
 sometimes]
     fat_free_clusters: deleting FAT entry beyond EOF
     File system has been set read-only

 A Sony stick that I have, also 2GB, works fine in every way, though it
 still emits the "FAT: utf8..." message (but not the panic.) Both sticks
 are formetted FAT, but even if I copy an ext3 OS image to it, so it is
 then formatted ext3, the OFW (Q3D07) still won't see it.

 So does Q2D08 fix ALL these issues?
