Please see: http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#gs3
You probably have to mount usbfs yourself, as some distro's startup scripts seem to not like 2.5 and don't do it for you.

Make the directory: mkdir /sys and then mount sysfs there: mount -t sysfs none /sys
Edit your /etc/fstab to add it so that it is always mounted at startup.
