ok, this is what I get in /var/log/messages, you should be getting 
something like this.

And from lsmod -

root at xp-2500:/home/vincent# lsmod

If you are building a LFS linux system then you should be able to make 
sense of all this, I thought I would post this as an example of a normal
working usb system.

hope this helps
