Comparing the lsmod output from your two sets of logs (with grep lsmod hardware-summary) the lists of modules are very different, specifically at least ehci_hcd and ehci_orion are not loaded (IIRC the internal microSD is behind a USB device too on dreamplug). There's a bunch more too but I think they follow on from the lack of USB. I've checked the usb-modules udeb[0] which I think your kernel will have been using and it does contain them. Your logs don't suggest a reason why they are not being loaded (sometimes there are "missing symbols" and such if there is skew in testing). Perhaps you could drop to a shell and try manually loading those modules and see what, if anything, it says? Unfortunately my non-production dreamplug is on the fritz (hangs at hw -detect, it's been flakey for a while). It seems to be well enough to manage (slooooowly) an upgrade from the existing Jessie install, once I've got it up to stretch perhaps I'll be able to see something like this failure for myself with that kernel. I also tried on my QNAP (same processor family) which is up to date already but it seems quite happy with its USB. Ian.
