Hmmm, another wrinkle in this usb-storage drama. Whereas David couldn't 
get usb storage working with Steven's kernel or the one David himself 
custom compiled, it sounds like it _does_ work with Deli and its kernel. 
David claimed there must be some bug in the usb handling of the 2.2.26 
kernel, but Stephen's experience and directions seem to weigh against 
this. So, what's up? Do only certain _types_ of usb storage work with the 
2.2.26 kernel and its modules? The mystery deepens . . . Maybe someone 
should take a look at the Deli kernel config file?
