Regarding USB... I hope that the suggestion works. Please let us know. From my experience, not all USB memory sticks are supported by linux, not even the 2.6 kernel. There are many different chip sets in use. Good luck
I mixed USB and Firewire up ... with Firewire I don't get devices when plugging in the disk. so have to rescan the bus to get it working ...
and the update to 2.6 helps for that (firewire-)problem ...
with USB my problems are that the device remain in the devfs after unplugging the storage-device ...
so the same device get for each "plugging" a new device-node (so when plugged the third time the stick is accessible as /dev/sdc1 :-(
my workaround to get it back to /dev/sda1 is: rmmod sd_mod rmmod usb-storage /etc/init.d/hotplug restart

Hello gentoo user n helper :)
I installed gentoo linux 1.4 on an i686 but have 2 troubles
1- USB storage (I have a 32 MB memory stick) I have install scsi mod, sd_mod, usbcore, usb-storage (everything needed that I once read from forum) I modprobe everything seem to be ok but when I mount
--- mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /mnt/flash --- it fires back:
---
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
---
then mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
also not helps
You need to rescan your SCSI-Bus for new devices (USB-Devies use the SCSI structur of th kernel ...
I do that job with a script from SuSE ... it is called rescan-scsi-bus.sh
here is it : http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh or have a look at google to find it
it creates for you the nodes and makes them usable ... (or update to Kernel 2.6 there is a new system which is working well ...)
