Interesting. I have not advanced far enough with debian to consider a kernel recompile, so I didn't compile the module as being verbose. I didn't compile the USB mass storage module, either. Is the implication it is verbose by default? I rather like seeing the verbosity as a check to see if all goes well, but have little use for a log.
