Since 2.6.7 no kernel has seen my USB CD burner or disk. I took the disk 
off to simplify the picture, it still doesn't work.

I am loading the modules for the USB after boot, by hand, so I can get 
the messages generated at the end of the dmesg output. Sorry for all the 
stuff attached, but I got no answer the last time I provided it 
compressed, so here it is in full size. Config files and dmesg output 
attached.

I'd love to think this is a config issue, but I just ran oldconfig on 
the 2.6.7 config file, then later turned on hotplug because someone 
claimed that was required (wasn't in 2.6.7) and it fails the same way in 
either case.
