Here are the logs.

I'm also attaching photos of my card - you cannot get more generic than that...

After checking out those logs, my suspicion is that your USB drive might be MSDOS-formatted; my USB 2.0 driver only accepts Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS+) for the time being. There should be a fifth log file called "USB Disk Log", either on your boot volume root or in your System Folder; send me that log and I can confirm. If your GOODRAM is already HFS/HFS+ then this theory is dead and we'll look elsewhere. If you already have another drive formatted to HFS/HFS+ then definitely give that one a try, or format your current GOODRAM to that and see if it fixes it (unless you have important stuff on there, in which case I'd wait until I get that log from you).

You are right, I didn't think to mention that before, but yes, it was indeed FAT formatted.

I cannot find such log anywhere on my HDD :/

Format your current GOODRAM to HFS+ and see if it fixes it

That's exactly what I did - I formatted my thumb drive to HFS+ on Tiger and well, it made a difference. I attach the logs below.

Right after booting OS9 the whole system freezes for around 30 second, then I get the message shown in USB unreadable 1.jpg and USB unreadable 2.jpg.

When I try formatting my thumb drive with Mac OS Standard, I get the message shown in Mac OS Standard.jpg.

When I try with Mac OS Extended, I get the messages shown in Mac OS Extended 1.jpg and  Mac OS Extended 2.jpg. Then it proceeds to Initialize.jpg but there is no progress going on, the whole system freezes.

Soo, in conclusion, you are definitely onto something here.
