Where did you get this "stock" kernel from?  Debian has no such kernel
in the last released woody.  Are you running sid?  And I will assume
you mean "k7" here not "k1" and that you got it from sid when that was
the current kernel.

Check /boot/config-2.4.24-1-k7 and look for the configuration of your
kernel.  I am guessing it was 'y' and so no module.  It will be an 'm'
for a module.

  grep CONFIG_USB_STORAGE= /boot/config-2.4.24-1-k7
  CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m

If it is 'y' then it was compiled into your kernel and you would not
need to load it as a module.  If it is 'n' then it was left out of the
configuration and would need to be recompiled.

I have the following in my /etc/fstab so that I can user mount my usb
camera.

  /dev/sda1 /media/camera vfat rw,noauto,user 0 0
