Just so this knowledge isn't lost, I figured it would
be a good idea to send a note to the list.
I'm using a Sony PCG-SRX77 Laptop, which has a MagicGate memory
stick reader. This memory stick reader is not recognized by the
usb-storage module; consequently, the machine hangs at boot time
(well, it does using RedHat 7.3).
I added the following to unusual devs to get the device working:

This patch is against linux 2.4.18, and I've submitted it mdarm for
inclusion into the main 2.4 tree.
One other thing to make the reader work a bit more smoothyly is to add:
alias block-major-2 sd_mod
to your modules.conf file. That in conjunction with setting up the
automounter makes the memory stick readable under linux.
