Using Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.10, most of kernel functionality compiled as 
modules.

I have usbd - the USB Daemon installed which does some magic for me.

and in the /etc/fstab, I have the following entry

# USB Device 1
/dev/sda1                       /mnt/usb                auto            
rw,noauto,users,sync,gid=users,umask=007        0 0

AFAIK, I have no other special USB settings.

I have never connected more than one USB storage device and I do not use other 
USB deviced, so YMMV, but I have connected and successfully used an external 
USB HD and a Canon digital camera.

Hope this helps,
