I recently upgraded my system.  I'm running kernel 2.6.17-r7, which is
was I ran before the upgrade.  I was able to plug in my USB flash drive
and there would be a device, usually /dev/sdbX, which I could mount to
access the drive.

After the upgrade, I get this in /var/log/messages:
Jan 25 21:54:35 brego usb 4-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd
and address 7
Jan 25 21:54:35 brego usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

But nothing about a SCSI device being added to the system in the /dev
tree like I used to get.

I have hotplug-20040923 and udev-087-r1 installed on the system, and I
have not tweaked the udev configs or anything.

I've read the gentoo udev guide, but haven't seen anything helpful
there.

The system has usbcore, [eou]hci_hcd, usbcore modules loaded, but
usb_storage didn't load automatically.  When I loaded it by hand, the
device would work as normal.

What do I need to do so that usb_storage will autoload as needed?
