Might be missing sd_mod.o. Just a guess.

at the risk of replying to my own post, this is the set of modules i
loaded, one after the other:

$ modprobe scsi_mod
$ modprobe usbcore
$ modprobe usb-storage
$ modprobe pcipool
$ modprobe usb-ohci
$ modprobe usb-ohci-ep93xx

which first inspires me to ask, isn't modprobe supposed to handle
module dependencies? i really had to do them one after the other, not
what i'm used to in 2.6.

and, finally, after all that went in, dmesg gave me:

scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Kingston Model: DataTraveler 2.0 Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 2

which looks good but it's still not clear what device file i'd
mount. i assume i'd do something like:

$ mount -t vfat /dev/?????? /mnt

but i don't see any scsi devices under /dev such as "sda1" or
something along those lines. any hints? obviously, i'm close. am i
missing any obvious modules?
