upgraded system, usb_storage won't autoload

I recently upgraded my system.  I'm running kernel
2.6.17-r7, which is
was I ran before the upgrade.  I was able to plug in my USB
flash drive
and there would be a device, usually /dev/sdbX, which I
could mount to
access the drive.

After the upgrade, I get this in /var/log/messages:
Jan 25 21:54:35 brego usb 4-2: new high speed USB device
using ehci_hcd
and address 7
Jan 25 21:54:35 brego usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from
1 choice

But nothing about a SCSI device being added to the system in
the /dev
tree like I used to get.

I have hotplug-20040923 and udev-087-r1 installed on the
system, and I
have not tweaked the udev configs or anything.

I've read the gentoo udev guide, but haven't seen anything
helpful
there.

The system has usbcore, [eou]hci_hcd, usbcore modules
loaded, but
usb_storage didn't load automatically.  When I loaded it by
hand, the
device would work as normal.

What do I need to do so that usb_storage will autoload as
needed?

Add it /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Or simply compile into the kernel and be done with the
problem.

Ha, well, the brute force solution *would* work, but I want
to know
*why* it didn't work as it should!  

Thank you for your suggestions, though, as they would solve
the problem.
