Status in Ubuntu Eee: Invalid

Bug description:
What we got here:

GERMAN eee PC G4 Model 701
1GB RAM, 16GB SDHC FlashCard
some optical USB Mouse (Fujitsu-Siemens which is a Logitech)
Ubuntu 7.10 installed + ubuntu eee script 1.0

Problem:

i figured out a problem that ubuntu does not boot properly if my SDHC Card and some USB Mouse is plugged into my eee PC.  If i unplug the USB Mouse BEVORE booting anything wents fine! Connecting the Mouse after a proper boot will be fine too. But rebooting or booting with USE Mouse plugged will lead into an interuption of the boot process at some point where the filesystem on the Flash-Card should get mounted. 

this happens while ubuntu boot screen progress-bar is about 20% or so. after few secs it aborts and drops to TEXT-Console reporting an ERROR not finding the Partition on the Flash-CArd.

This is what it Reports in Detail:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Checking too file system...
/dev/sda1 clean
*checking filesystems...
fsck.ext2: unable to resolve 'UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
fsck died with exit Status 8

*file system check failed
*a maintenance shell will now be started
CTRL+D will terminate this shell and resume boot
#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if i now do a "mount" i can see there is no FlashDrive mounted as it should be automounted at /FLASH directory. so there is none yet.

But if i do now a "mount -a" it will mount without any complains and a "mount" will show me the /FLASH is up and running properly!!

So whats that ?!

1. booting with no mouse >>> anything is fine! system boots up perectly
2. booting with USB mouse >>> Drops into maintenance mode, complaining that it wont find the right partition on my flash-drive to mount
3. doing a manual "mount -a" in just the same maintenance menu mounts the flash drive without error
4. i can continue with CTRL+D to continue boot-process


btw my /etc/fstab looks like this
