Subject: [gentoo-amd64] upgraded system, usb_storage won't autoload

1 I recently upgraded my system. I'm running kernel 2.6.17-r7, which is
2 was I ran before the upgrade. I was able to plug in my USB flash drive
3 and there would be a device, usually /dev/sdbX, which I could mount to
4 access the drive.
5
6 After the upgrade, I get this in /var/log/messages:
7 Jan 25 21:54:35 brego usb 4-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd
8 and address 7
9 Jan 25 21:54:35 brego usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
10
11 But nothing about a SCSI device being added to the system in the /dev
12 tree like I used to get.
13
14 I have hotplug-20040923 and udev-087-r1 installed on the system, and I
15 have not tweaked the udev configs or anything.
16
17 I've read the gentoo udev guide, but haven't seen anything helpful
18 there.
19
20 The system has usbcore, [eou]hci_hcd, usbcore modules loaded, but
21 usb_storage didn't load automatically. When I loaded it by hand, the
22 device would work as normal.
23
24 What do I need to do so that usb_storage will autoload as needed?
