2.2.26 does not support USB storage devices.  2.4.31 does.  I compiled my 
kernels to work with all my devices (two brands of flash drive - USB 1 and 
USB 2, two USB hard disks, USB camera, USB memory card readers for CF and 
SM cards, USB zip 250 drive from iomega).  They are not guaranteed to work 
with all USB storage devices because I did not build in support for all 
devices.  David's 1-floppy USB linux supports more devices, as does his 
2.4.31 kernel and modules.

insmod scsi_mod
insmod sd_mod
(Skip these two lines if using a kernel with built-in scsi such as my 'sy' 
and 'smy' kernels)
insmod usbcore
insmod usb-ohci or uhci and if USB2 also ehci-hcd
insmod usb-storage

You will see something about sda1 (or if you have more than one device, it 
could be sdb1 - zip drives will be sda4 etc.)
mount /dev/sda1 on your chosen mount point.
