The most likely your kernel does not have USB support built in, or USB has been disabled in the BIOS, or it is broken. The only things required to generate the "new device" line is working hardware and a correct kernel configuration. Did you enable /proc/config.gz support? Can you double-check your configuration there? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
