I formatted a 2 Gb USB stick and installed a bootable version of puppy linux on it. It can be read by even a windows PC, it is formatted vfat ( I think). When I insert that stick into my Debian Etch computer, the computer reboots. Once it comes back up, it reads the USB stick as /dev/sdb. Why does it make my PC crash and what can I do to stop it from doing that.


Could it be a hardware problem? Try inserting the usb stick into different ports and see. Also try a different usb stick dd'd from the troublesome one.
