fc5-test3 and external usb box : works fine :)

[Larry tb]

You need uhci and ohci for old usb storages.
About the other modules : i dont know. I had to add all of them to make 
it work. I first try to make it work with the parropriate doc 
(http://simonf.com/usb/#fc3), with accommodations.
But it always failed.

But i am just an end-user ... and know very few things
