See if you can load the uhci module via: modprobe uhci If not, it's not built into your kernel. To be honest, I'm not sure if uhci will have anything to do with this or not. I've seen my iPod mini do similar things (admittedly it's definitely a piece of faulty hardware in my case). There are 3 types of USB systems as far as I can remember - ehci, uhci, ohci. I generally make sure that any kernel that I have has all 3 compiled. You're using a very old kernel now as well - 2.4.20 is ancient. I'd really recommend upgrading to a newer kernel, more than likely one of the Debian 2.6 kernel images that are available. I noticed that you're using xfs as well - I have no experience with xfs, so I can't say if that's possibly something to do with this (I doubt it though to be honest).
