It came to my attention that some steps were missing from the tutorial I wrote up, so I though that I'd finish up here with the next few things to do...
First of all, after you have started with the new kernel, and can see the drive in usbtree, you have to make sure you can reach it as a standard scsi drive. If you have all IDE equipment, it should show up as /dev/sda (check by running /sbin/fdisk -l for a list of partitions and drives). If not, make sure all the appropriate modules are running, by using this command: modprobe scsi_mod ehci-hcd autofs usb-storage usbcore
If you still don't see the drive, try running: /sbin/hotplug usb
If despite all of this the drives don't show, you can actually try to force linux to see it by running fdisk /dev/sda (or whatever the next scsi device would be), and then exiting out.
If all of this fails, then you are on your own. Start here for more technical details.

fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he
is most likely to be creamed?
