That's a strange error, I've never seen that one. Do you have an upto date modutils installed? Sometimes (but I didn't think so for 2.4.21) you need make sure you have the latest and greatest of modutils when you upgrade your kernel. Check out the FAQ at http://www.linux-usb.org/ for a pointer to hotplug. If you use RH it should come with it. I'm running the RH kernel 2.4.20-19.7 so I've not actually tried 2.4.21. I was recently very pleasantly surprised about how well the usb-storage module is doing. I was at a meeting where we had no network connect but people had brought their talks on USB dongly type devices. 4 our of 4 random devices worked fine.
