USB drives not recognized all of a sudden (module usb_storage not loading)
I am very close to the solution, just need to know how to get usb-storage to load.
I have tried most of the advice on askubuntu and other sites, usb_storage enable to fdisk -l.  But I am unable to find steps to get it working again.

Narrowing down more: Seems like I need usb_storage to load as a module
lsmod | grep usb:

Still no usb driver mounted. Nor does a device show up in /dev. Any step by step process to debug and fix this will be really helpful.
