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.
Once again Brian is right here with good helpful advice.
Sort'a liked Greg's advice about usin Gimp to calibrate monitor
DPI, even tho mine was disappointing (88 dpi, Samsung 19" flat
panel) ... but I digress.
I believe it might be helpful to see the result of, (mine as
an example, Asus A7V600)

So it seems I'm full'a USB ;) 'Course then again, I've
always avoided Universal Serial Bus hardware. Don't have any.
My system doesn't have the file "dmidecode" so I was not able to run it.
Thanks anyway.
