Yes, this indeed helped. modprobe usb_serial and then /dev/sdb* showed
up and I was able to mount manually. May be related to fact that udev
failed to start.

Forget to say that I can get to console only from the "mageia 3 safe
mode" grup option which goes directly to console.
With normal mageia 3 or older mageia 2 kernel options I will eventually
reach the login screen, but login itself always fails with all desktop
envs I have and resets itself back to login screen again. (kde4, gnome,
lxde, openbox, icewm)
Now that I can mount the usb stick and manually copy the missing rpm's
to harddrive, can I install these 900 rpm packages from this mga3 safe
mode login, or should I create a new "Mageia 3 upgrade preparation safe
mode" option to grup which has this rd.convertfs boot option and boot
there for upgrading the rest of the rpm's from mga2 version to mga3?
Mika
