After installation, yes. But nothing got printed by dmesg during the
installation when I plug in the USB stick. And (from mempry, the
machine is now in production so I can't fiddle) lsmod didn't show all
the necessary modules --- after full installation I see:
ehci_pci 12472 0
uhci_hcd 26976 0
ehci_hcd 40464 1 ehci_pci
I think ehci-pci,ko is missing from the initrd.
