Erm, hotplug?  OK, so much for being a relatively with-it Linux guy...
I've got kmod turned on to automatically load kernel modules.  Is there
something else I should have turned on?

Hmmmm, I never saw any error messages about this in any logs, but now
that I try it manually, it seems there's a problem loading usb-storage.o:

devastator# modprobe usb-storage
modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies!
modprobe: Circular dependency? ide-iops ide-lib ide usbcore usb-storage
Aborted
devastator# modprobe ide-lib
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.21-1/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-lib.o will taint the 
kernel: no license
  See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules
Module ide-lib loaded, with warnings
devastator# modprobe ide 
modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies!
modprobe: Circular dependency? ide-iops ide-lib ide
Aborted
devastator# modprobe ide-iops
modprobe: Too deep recursion in module dependencies!
modprobe: Circular dependency? ide ide-lib ide-iops
Aborted

Well that's rather annoying.  Maybe both of these readers will be recognized
after I figure out what's going on with these crazy ide modules.  And for
that matter, why ide-lib doesn't appear to have an open-source license in
it.  This should be a completely stock kernel, plus the CryptoAPI and
OpenWall patches.  I'm pretty sure there's been no other tweakage to it.
Certainly nothing in the area of either USB or IDE.

Ever seen anything like this before?  Thanks again....
