Okay, first step is to try to find out what modules you need for USB and why 
they are not being loaded.  I am pretty sure that USB will NOT work without 
kernel modules loaded as I am almost certain that USB support is not built 
into the kernel with static support.

You said that harddrake was identifying your USB controller card, can you give 
us more information about what info it gives you?  For instance, mine is 
identified as a VT8235 USB Enhanced Controller, vendor: VIA Technologies, 
Bus, Location, Module: ehci-hcd

If you can find similar info about yours in harddrake, it might help us figure 
out which modules you need.

Something else, can you edit your /etc/modules.conf file as root and add the 
following lines just as an experiment:

probeall usb-interface

Then restart, or you can issue the same command as root from the command line.  
Then do an lsmod and tell us if you see any additional modules for usb 
loaded.
