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
HardDrake shows the USB controller as a VIA VT82C586B, Via Technologies, PCI, Bus ID: 1106:3038:925:1234
Location on bus: 0:4:2, Description VIA VT82C586B USB, Module: usb-uhci, Media class: SERIAL_USB
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
command not found.
I used find files to search for probeall. It doesn't appear to be on this system. urpmi couldn't find a package with that name either.
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.
