The contents of /proc are generated by the kernel, so you only need
to reboot if you make a mistake. However, this strategy will not get
the 2.2 usb-storage working. The missing /proc entries are merely
a symptom that the drivers are not working properly with the hardware.

The 2.2 usb-storage driver does work, but only with a small selection of
devices. The only device that I have ever gotten to work is my NEC
floppy drive.
