Why don't you build the required modules into the kernel? I just
switched on my usb drive and my list of modules didn't change.

This may or may not be relevant.

I doubt it.

I have a recent release of the kernel. The usb drive worked with 6.1's
kernel, so I wouldn't bother until you get things working.
Here is what I get when I switch on the drive.

I'll try and include the relevant bits of my kernel config (well they
work for me)., note, you may need OHCI, examine dmesg to check. Also
try building them directly into the kernel,
