Unfortunately, when using a kernel from the 2.4 series, I am still not
able to use my USB Drive.

Just as a reminder, I was having problems with various 2.4 kernels and
decided to try a 2.6 kernel (2.6.0-test9). Since I also had problems
there (with data available at http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/usb/), I
decided to go back to a 2.4 kernel, 2.4.23-pre9 + the current packet
writing patch.

I got many errors when I booted my system. Then, I tried playing with
the hotplug scripts (disabling hotplug). And I got an Oops.

The decoded oops is here:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.4.23-pre9-pkt-1.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.23-pre9-pkt-1/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.23-pre9-pkt-1 (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.
