I had to enable IOMMU in bios, then disable it in kernel using iommu=soft. Yes, the BIOS eats up your flash drive. Maybe it only knows FAT32 or NTFS or something. Just don't have it do any reading or writing to a drive with anything important on it. It also does this to hard drives, so stay away from screenshots, etc. I'm happy you got it worked out!
