Can you try either the patch at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=101588420909194
Or just renaming your usbmodules binary to something else and see if the problem goes away?
The USB initialization timing changed between 2.4.19-pre1 and -pre2, fixing a lot of problems with devices that had previously not worked on Linux, but worked fine on Windows. Turned out we were wrong on the timing issues :)
Let me know if this helps or not.
