There are 2 other host controllers you could try modprobing. I remember having problems with my usb midi keyboard not being detected on one install (Gentoo IIRC). One host controller was loaded, but I had to specifically load a different one to get the usb midi keyboard detected. Try the ones below. ehci_hcd uhci_hcd If one of them does result in your usb devices being recognised, add it to /etc/modules. btw. You don't have to remove the ohci_hcd, as they don't conflict with one another. Sorry for CC'ing you, but your post was a few days ago, and I'm not sure if you're still reading the list.
