I guess the support of flash drives on 2.4 is not complete.
I think that USB subsystem is not even detecting your drive.
Can you post the output of dmesg command, after you insert your drive?
Whatever, I think 2.4 series don't have good support for the same. 2.6 works very good. I use my flash drive on 2.6 and it works fine. I also tried it on 2.4 but didn't succeed.

I am using Debian with Kernel 2.4.27.
I issued following commands. On using usbfs with option -f, It mounted, but
showed some dricer folder (lised below), and could not use it.
===================
debian:~# mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
debian:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
debian:~# mount -t usbfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/
debian:~# ls /mnt/usb/
001/ 002/ 003/ 004/ devices drivers
debian:~# ls /mnt/usb/

Same are the result on RedHat.
