I haven't had issues building the kernel, but with USB built-in, only the USB host is detected, nothing actually plugged into it. I thought my USB hardware was broken, and was prepared to buy an add-on card before I used USB for anything non-optional, but then the issue came up on the amd64 list, and someone mentioned that building USB into the kernel would often cause this symptom, but it would work just fine with the USB system modularized. Sure enough, it did. I can confirm /that/ issue occurs on vanilla kernel.org kernels, and has for some time (several 2.6.x versions, anyway), since I don't use gentoo kernels, but rather download my kernel sources directly from kernel.org. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
