Thanks Larry, USB 2 controller is integrated into VIA's new VT8235 Southbridge.
Had a good read through the USB Linux project and it seems USB2 is not supported in 2.4.18-6 and is flaky in all 2.4 kernels, it recommends using 2.5 kernel. So I'm going to leave it for a while and see if there are any further developments.
