kernel 2.6.9 unable to mount usb-memory stick

[Florian Klinglmueller <float@lefant.net>]

hi,

i recently upgraded my ibook2.2's kernel from kernel-image-2.6.8 to
kernel-image-2.6.9, now i can't mount my usb-memory-stick anymore, 
plugging it in under 2.6.9, dmesg gives:

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
ub: sizeof ub_scsi_cmd 60 ub_dev 924
uba: device 2 capacity nsec 1019136 bsize 512
uba: was not changed
 /dev/ub/a: p1
usbcore: registered new driver ub

so i read this is connected to the ub module 
http://linux.usc.edu/pipermail/usclug-chat/2004-December/000111.html

now is there a way to disable this without a kernel recompile, or i
better go back and use 2.6.8?

thx float
