first of all, i'm still learning and i'm open to any suggestions. i'm not really sure where to even begin with this problem:
i'm running Mandrake Cooker and cannot get any USB devices to work, even when loading the appropriate modules. i have a Gigabyte GA-7IXE mobo with an AMD 950 Slot A processor. i'm sure it is a hardware problem because the exact same devices work fine on 2 other Mandrake boxes i have, one running an Intel 810 chipset and the other is an old Gateway E-4200.
one of the devices is a USB pen drive. this is what happens on the Gateway when i plug it in:

but on my Gigabyte box nothing happens. the manual for the USB pen drive says run
cat /proc/scsi/scsi to make sure the drive is hooked up. on my Gateway box it shows this:

i manually ran
modprobe and inserted the following modules:
usbcore
uhci-hcd
usb-uhci
hid
scsi-mod
usb-storage
but it didn't help anything. could it just be that my hardware is incompatible? is there any way around this?
