[TriLUG] usbdrive etc.

Unfortunately I'm still back on 2.2.19pre17, which seems to support usb
but not usb mass storage. Sounds like a project for next month.

For the record, what happened is that the key was recognized flawlessly:
(from /var/log/messages:)
Jun 10 08:55:56 perrin kernel: usb.c: USB new device connect, assigned

Jun 10 08:55:56 perrin kernel: Manufacturer: IBM

And it shows up in /proc/bus/usb/devices:
T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=12  MxCh= 0

E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms



And in /proc/scsi/usb:
perrin:/proc/scsi/usb# cat 1 
   Host scsi1: usb-storage
        Vendor: IBM
      Product: IBM USB Memory Key
Serial Number: None
     Protocol: Transparent SCSI
    Transport: Bulk
          GUID: 0a1688880000000000000000


But can't be mounted or mke2fs'ed:
perrin:/proc/scsi/usb# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device
       (maybe `insmod driver'?)
