    lsmod shows ide_core and scsi_mod both being used by usb_storage on my
    machine running 2.6.7-1-k7. The only other modules that look related are
    the obvious usbcore, fat and vfat. Hopefully 2.4.26 is close enough for
    that to help.

    In my case I'm using usb_storage for a 256MB usb keychain drive.

    HTH,
    Jacob
