You have tried your best. Let me wait to hear from Steve.. Steve, does the output from "udevadm monitor" command sent yesterday shed some light, any light?

There is no indication that a device has been added. "Device Notifier" says "No devices available". On the contrary, if a flash drive is inserted in the same usb port, Device Notifier pops up, as it should. I am kind of lost..

You can format it, but it is not loaded as a drive by the system. It would seem to be some sort of device driver problem, except that you can format the drive with GPartEd. Sorry, I cannot help you further. This is one for a kernel expert or a USB expert. Good luck!
