USB thumbdrive setup help needed

[ck42]

Finally got me a thumbdrive and wanting to get the thing going.

I've got two different setups (kernels) compiled right now.......

1) SCSI options built-in but USB options pertaining to storage are modules

2) Same as 1 but USB options also built-into the kernel.

I have hotplug merged. But, #1 doesn't seem to be working.
With #2, I at least get a /dev/sda1 and /dev/scsi/host1 listing....but get a superblock error when trying to mount the stick.

Is there a preferred method of setting up these devices? ..and, what am I doing wrong here?

Here's my dmesg from the #1 setup.
