Yes. Do not say "it doesnt work", but tell what hardware
you have, what kernel you have, what you do, what happens,
what error messages result.
This list is archived, but so far this conversation does not
contain information.

You have not shown any kernel messages yet.

Not so drastic. As soon as the thing can be addressed,
most problems have been solved already.
Such memory sticks sometimes contain a partition table,
and sometimes not. A command like
dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | od -tx1
would show the contents. If there is no partition table
fdisk would list garbage only, but if there is, then
fdisk -l /dev/sda
would tell you what it looks like.
