Under 2.4, I can use a Apple USB keyboard and a Logitech USB mouse reliably.
In 2.6, with test9 I'd get a machine check. Test11 gives a oops.
I could never get a USB storage device to work in 2.4. It's a combo
USB/Firewire drive. It works just fine with Firewire.

I have to recompile 2.6.0 final anyway, so I'll add that driver to the config
