Do you have support for SCSI disks available (either compiled in or as a
module)?

This is a very good sign.  It shows that the driver has identified the
device, and attempted to communicate that information to the SCSI layer.

This isn't needed for debugging.

Hrm... so the SCSI layer probed for the device, but didn't find
anything....

This command isn't really needed anymore.  Generally, when you attach a
device, it will appear immediately.

No, it wasn't.  usb-storage-0/2 is created by connecting the device.

What you need to do now is set syslogd to save kern.* to a logfile, and
then attach the device and load all the drivers, and send me the logfile.
You also need to enable USB Mass Storage debugging.

I'm suspecting that this is an endian-ness problem.  I should be able to
identify that relatively quickly once you send me the logfile.
