The DRIVE should show up as /dev/sda, the data partition should usually

/dev/sda1. Unfortunately my [sony] memory stick seems not to work under FC2 at least, but it doesn't cause hanging problems, it just doesn't work at all.
It may be due to the fact that FC2 added ACPI support and your machine has a buggy ACPI BIOS (like mine did). All my USB stuff stopped working when I switched to FC2.
Go back throught the archives and look for USB and ACPI for _my_ problem and solution.
Tom,
Both of my thumb drives appear as /dev/sda and work perfectly. Other folks have reported their thumb drives appear as /dev/sda1. And there are some truly evil thumb drives that require Windows security drivers to access them. Has that possibility been ruled out?

Memorex thumb drive worked for me ("giant floppy mode" /dev/sda or /dev/ sdb - depending...) as well as external an USB hard drive (/dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1) on FC1, FC2, and FC3T1 (until an attempted update killed the machine - another story), but only booting with noacpi.
