Try 2.3.99-pre7-2. This has the latest USB Mass Storage code in it. Did
you select this to be built as a module for your kernel?

What do you mean, 'recognized'? You see the device descriptor info, I'm
presuming? You didn't mention loading the usb-storage driver at this

Did you load usb-storage?
You can control what gets logged by editing your /etc/syslog.conf.
Did you mount usbdevfs? If so, could you send the descriptor dump?

It's probably a good idea, tho not strictly necessary.

SCSI CD-ROMs appear as /dev/scdN devices. You should always try mounting
that.
