Ah, that explains it.
The -small config has CONFIG_SUNGEM=m as well as CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m.
I guess what happens here is that you are using the -small kernel with
the normal modules or something such. The -small has a lot more stuff
modular so it can fit on a miboot floppy, but as thus, it also needs
a lot more stuff to go into the module udebs, as well as a specific
initrd.
Try using the kernel from the -powerpc image directly.
