Sorry, I was wrong.
There must have been something else I changed
to enable creation of the device necessary device nodes.
In retrospect, it had nothing to do with changing the kernel, since the nodes
are now created when I boot the 2.6.8.1 kernel.
Your other assessment was also correct. If I remove the names of the
necessary modules from /etc/sysconfig/modules, then the nodes are not
created and there is certainly no dynamic loading of the usb-related
modules.
Still I am pleased that I can now mount my devices and sorry if my initial conclusion might have lead anyone up a blind street.
