I'm using a 256Mb USB 2.0 SandDisk Cruzer Mini on a FC3 system without 
any problems (BTW, tt also worked on FC2, but at that time I had to add 
the device ID manually so it got recognized).

I plug this pendrive directly, with ACPI on (the default), and without 
passing any special parameter to the kernel on boot. It worked since the 
first day, and it wasn't affected by any of the kernel / udev updates 
(my box is fully uipdated as of yesterday now)

The device is detected and mounted automagically on /media/usbdisk, and 
it's shown on the desktop (Gnome) as a removable USB disk.
