Yes, I did mean 2.4.24-1-k7, and I am running Sarge.  Sorry, I should 
have mentioned that.

CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m

but there is no module usb_storage.o in /lib/modules/2.4.24-1-k7.  Could this have been accidentally left out of the package?  If so, where can I get it.  Is there a more recent 2.4.x kernel that DOES have the module included?
