enable Preliminary USB device filesystem under the usb menu

[Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-02-19 10:32:29 UTC]

Can you please backup your .config, run "make mrproper", stick your .config back in, run "make oldconfig && make dep bzImage"?

Did any of the previous suggestions fix this?

[Comment 5 Jason Cox (RETIRED) 2004-04-09 08:16:24 UTC]

Closing. Newer kernels have fixed this.
