[ Insider knowledge: USB was never designed for block devices ]
Anyhoo, understand that USB isn't a set of standards, never was. Although some standards have been built around it for various functionality.
Furthermore, you still have to have an OHCI (1.2/12Mbps) or EHCI (480Mbps) driver for your host. End user devices are up in the air, although most storage devices have come up with simple block mechanisms that are typically followed.

The ICH6 should be supported, unless Intel really changed something.
What is the exact model of your USB storage device? What does "lsusb" give you, if anything?
What about what comes up in /var/log/messages when you stick the device in? [ tail -f /var/log/messages, then stick in the device ]
