in a fairly recent posting, i clarified that a lot of the problem seemed to be that many of my modules were simply not being loaded on demand. not only the USB stuff, but even the vfat module so i could mount my windows partition.
i finally went back and just built all this stuff into the kernel, and solved most (not quite all) of the problems. i find this kind of surprising -- i've never had to do this before.
and, to answer your question above, before i did all this, to get my zip drive to work, i modprobe'd usbcore and usb-storage manually. to mount the windows partition, same with modprobe and vfat.
and it's still a mystery why, before i did this, when i booted with a USB optical mouse plugged in, it hung after "Freeing unused kernel memory". *that* is still a puzzler.
