In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
phil0d0x / # dmesg | tail

sdb: assuming drive cache: write through
sdb: sdb1
sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb
sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0

SQUASHFS error: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on sdb

Do you have the right file system support built into your kernel?

Many usb sticks have partition tables on them. Try fdisk on /dev/sdb to see if it has a partition table. If it does, try mounting that partition
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb |

| If fdisk shows a partition, you are trying to mount the wrong thing. Try mounting the partition instead of the entire disk before you try changing anything. |
