Comment(by dsaxena):

 Replying to [comment:13 dilinger]:
 > Yes, but modprobing usb_storage doesn't help when someone has installed
 a new kernel rpm whose usb_storage.ko has a different ABI than the
 usb_storage.ko that's in the initrd.

 This change will only appear on testing kernels and since the latest
 olpcrd code is already doing a modprobe, this shouldn't impact many
 people. Anyone updating from a stable .22 to .26 will have to rebuild an
 initrd anyways. Anyone updating from a kernel before this commit to a new
 one will have to do so too, but I imagine that to be smaller number of
 users who are developer types anyways and can probably do this to module
 in there. (If not, send them my way...)
