Yes, but this is a different kernel with a different initrd.

It is not the isolinux which gives trouble, unless the initrd is
_not_loaded, can you confirm that?

You got many more modules than I found on the initrd, this is
suspicious. Ahhhh.... you are using the initrd_ide_cd
This is the content of the modules directory in initrd_ide_cd
luna:/mnt/boot/lib/modules # ls -l
total 270
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 288 2009-04-29 22:55 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 96 2009-04-29 22:55 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37512 2009-04-29 22:55 cdrom.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36628 2009-04-29 22:55 ide-cd.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135908 2009-04-29 22:55 ide-core.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1071 2009-04-29 22:55 ide-detect.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18268 2009-04-29 22:55 ide-disk.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22199 2009-04-29 22:55 isofs.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13930 2009-04-29 22:55 vfat.o
so not a single usb module, you are not using the original initrd_ide_cd

And this is also different from the original.

obviously the usb modules are _not_ loaded here

So you are using the usb-uhci just like on the other disk.I am wondering
which modules you use to build your initrd file. You must have the usb
modules included with the ide_cd stuff.
Please run an lsmod on a machine where you can get it to boot and look
for usb modules. Try to determine _when_ they are loaded.
Use an original initrd_ide_cd to build a bootable CD for your target
machine. This will not yet allow you to use the usb stick, but you can
work from there. Load the usb modules manually to determine if they are
working correctly.
If you have a working LINUX system you can gunzip the initrd and loop
mount it, then inspect the contents. You can also add additional modules
as fit, unmount and gzip it to use it on the target.
cheers
