ACPI didn't seem to change anything. But I did reformat the key with
fdisk, making a new empty DOS partition table and then making a
partition and fs following your instructions. It seems to be OK now---at
least  both devices are recognized when I insert the key (meaning: no
need to insert it twice). Maybe the problem was with the original
partition table (and zeroing the first block didn't fix it...).

Thank you for all your support.
