Did lsusb (or maybe usb-list in d-i env) then start showing the devices? Alternatively I think they appear under /proc somewhere and I would expect some stuff in dmesg too. You could also try load usb-storage and/or sd_mod to see if the disks are then found.

It's not impossible that this is related, since I would expect hw-detect to responsible in some way for loading some of this stuff (although I would expect it primarily to happen via udev once the modules were actually available, which they seem to be). Perhaps a "udevadm trigger" would be interesting to try? Ian.
