Does your usb device work on other linux machines?
Well, the output from dmesg I included earlier (which I assume you're referring to) is with no USB devices plugged in. The device, which is an external USB IDE enclosure (currently holding a 20G IDE HD), was working on this very same computer up until recently (see the top of the thread for an explanation of what was happening when it stopped). I haven't tried it on my laptop running Debian, I was going to take it home and verify that tonight. I can't check /proc/partitions after plugging in the device because plugging it in and powering it up = hung computer. So obviously something happens when it's plugged in, but current configuration issues aren't happy with whatever that something is. If I have the device plugged in and powered up while booting, the system hangs just before it would give me the login prompt.
