usb discovery fails on initial boot
I have a bootup problem with a USB stick
I have a USB stick which is permanently plugged in (for backup
purposes). When the PC first boots the stick is never discovered, but if
I wait a few minutes and reboot, it generally gets discovered and
mounted with an icon on the desktop. I'm using Etch. I'd either like to
find a fix for this so that the bootup process finds the stick on first
boot, or failing that, to run some program to recognise the stick
without having to reboot.

In the hope that this might help I've tried to pull out relevant lines from syslog (grepping "usb",
"ehci", "uhci") which are as follows on first boot when the stick fails
to be discovered:
