I'd be quite surprised if anything worked on that kernel.  Its a blackhole
of bugs & instabilities, and i donit' know that it ever had much in the
way of decent USB functionality.

I thought you were trying to build a 2.4.20 XFS enabled kernel?  Why not
get that working, and then move onto the USB stuff?
