Sure, because of CONFIG_USB_[EOUW]HCI_HCD=m. If you want to boot from USB,
kernel needs to have a means to access your USB device. Don't know if that
matters, but I would also enable some/all sub-options of USB-Storage.

Hi group,
My 900A with a fresh gentoo install boots into a panic. Says it doesn't like my
