2.95.3 is what everyone recommends, so that is likely not the problem.

OK. Do you want any modules?

I don't remember. See the first line of dmesg within the running kernel
if you want to find out.

I already have. Mine behaved exactly like Steven's. The usb-storage
problems are the result of fundamental deficiencies in the 2.2.x usb
drivers. Porting the 2.4 drivers to 2.2 would take a lot of work, so it is
more sensible to use 2.4 when you need it and 2.2 the rest of the
time.
