As mentioned in an earlier post, I tried lsmod, but only ehci_hcd came up.
Now I tried lspci -v and this is what came up for usb:
00:07.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 
Controller (rev 1a) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. (Wrong ID) USB Controller
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10
        I/O ports at d400 [size=32]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2

00:07.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 
Controller (rev 1a) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
        Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. (Wrong ID) USB Controller
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10
        I/O ports at d800 [size=32]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2

Could the "(Wrong ID)" have anything to do with it?  I've noticed when I've 
compiled kernels for another system that there are 2 possible usb-controller 
drivers to choose from.  VIA and Intel (if I remember correctly).  Could it 
be that for some reason the system gets confused to which of the two drivers 
to load because of the strange error mentioned above (Wrong ID)?

The following is the complete usb related extract from dmesg:

USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v2.2
uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: UHCI Host Controller

>From what I can understand from the dmesg extract, the usb 1.1 controller is 
detected fine, but it seems like it is the actual usb-disc in question that 
is the problem?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
