The -idepci kernel doesn't contain the usb modules, and you will need
the userspace 'hotplug' package to take advantage of the usb support.
You will most likely need to do the following:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.20 hotplug
It would probably be better to go to a 2.4 kernel -- I believe the usb
support in 2.4 is more complete. (kernel-image-2.4.18-586 for a
pentium-optimized kernel)
After installing the kernel, and making sure /etc/lilo.conf is updated,
and lilo has been run (unless you've switched to grub), you'll obviously
need to reboot.
