If you can, try it in another USB port. You can also run lsusb and
see if it shows the memory stick, or an unidentified USB device. I
don't expect lsusb to produce if /var/log/messages does not show
anything. Normall there will be a message when you plug in a USB
device, even if the system does not reconize what the device is.
Something like:

Nov  6 14:11:59 x86 kernel: [31349.337850] usb 2-4: new high-speed
USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
