No way. I can't mount something without, at least, having kernel mode
usb-storage properly insmod'ed. And what i was saying a few lines up, is
that apparently usb-storage is missing from my machine - though i
upgraded from FC1 to FC2 by iso images.

It says so, but it doesn't load usb-storage into kernel and then it
gives up since it can't find an IRQ for the new device.

Absolutely nothing happens.

Somebody told me that this thing of memeory stick not being mounted was
something known to happen with FC2. Maybe they were wrong. 

My point now is: i don't have usb-storage on my system - is this normal
for a normal FC2 upgrade? How can i do to fix it? Brand new kernel or
just compiling some new modules? As to both chances, a bit of help is
needed. I never compiled a 2.6.

Thanks a lot
