Maybe youre missing a driver. Either one of those should be plain to
read in dmesg.<br>

I have nothing in /dev/ that starts with tt and has usb or USB in it.<br>
For that matter, there is nothing in /dev/ that has USB/usb in it.<br>
I use several USB flash drives and they all work well, even to<br>
the point of booting up off of them.<br>
