More Diagnosis:

I bought an OLPC in the buy one/give one so i just tried the USB stick
on the real machine and it works fine.

So it just my emulated image that is refusing to mount it for some reason :(

I'd really like to keep using VMWare.  On my machine its both more
convenient and much faster then qemu even with the kqemu wedge.  (its
a 64 bit dual core, but you can't run qemu in 64 bit mode with kqemu )

Has anyoen else gotten emulation under vmware recognizing USB memory
stick drives?

Thanks

JK
