In order for usb sticks to appear in the journal, several components
need to cooperate: at least the kernel, HAL, datastore and journal.
Also, failure can happen due to many environment variables.

Thus, without logs for each of these components the developers can't do
much. Please attach /var/log/messages, the output of lshal -l, and sugar
debugging logs as explained in
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Attaching_Sugar_Logs_to_Tickets .

But, if your problem looks similar to the one described in the links
below, then just do as Jani said and delete the .olpc.store dir in the
usb stick:

I'm sorry for the confusion that this has caused, hopefully people will
stop using the offending builds and we won't see this again. In the
future I'll be watching more closely the xapian releases we put in the
builds.

Thanks,

Tomeu
