Why FC5 cannot autodetect USB thumbdirve?

[FC5newbie]

Hi everyone,
Anyone has any problem with FC5 detecting USB thumbdrive? My FC5 cannot detect my thumbdrives. It does not appear in anywhere like sda1 or whatever when I typed dmesg. Therefore I cannot mount them. Please offer advice. Thanks.

Run the following command FIRST, then plug in your USB device.
$ lshal -m

Also run the following BEFORE & AFTER you plug in your USB device.
$ /sbin/lsusb

Post any output.

Hi tebbens,
Thanks for the reply.
Here is what I got:

Before USB device

[root@localhost ~]# lshal -m

Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------

(Note: the system just stop there for sometime, doing nothing, I had to press Ctrl-C to get back to prompt)
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/lsusb
-bash: /sbin/lsusb: No such file or directory

Before and after are the same
Strange, lsusb file does not seems to exist in my system. Wonder why? I installed the FC5 basic version without the web server and development tool. Had some problem installing all of them.

Thanks.

By the way, I tried
[root@localhost ~]# lspci -v

It seems the controller were not recognized properly. Any idea anyone? Thanks.

Keep lshal -m running (don't press ctrl-c) , then plug in the USB device.
What do you see ?

Hi tebbens,
I kept lshal -m running and plugged in my usb thumbdrive. I tried all the usb ports I had on my pc, nothing happened.
