Probably the Mandrake box isn't running hotplug, have you checked?

Also, if it works with the FC1 box, then most likely it is a driver problem 
when you start to get the bad probe results on plugging in a USB key, where 
another box, with a different kernel doesn't have this problem.

Get 2.6.8, I'd say this problem gets magiced away.
