No. 2.4.29. :) But, later 2.2.26 supports USB Mass Storage, too. You need to
enable CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL (Mass Storage code is experimental in early 
kernels)
and then you also need PCI support for USB. Then build the following modules 
or
equivalent as =Y:

scsi_mod
sd_mod
usbcore
usb-uhci (or equivalent USB host module)
usb-storage
