USB Devices not working right all of a sudden

I had just posted this as I thought my USB Bluetooth dongle wasn't working right, but now I just plugged in my USB external HD and it powers on fine but is not showing up at all in either nautilus or thunar to mount, and lsusb gives me this:

bobby@dabox:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 04fc:0c25 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd 
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:c313 Logitech, Inc. 
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c01e Logitech, Inc. MX518 Optical Mouse
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
bobby@dabox:~$

It's the sunplus one, it's detected fine but can't get it to go.

EDIT: I also just plugged in my little "20in1 Hi-Speed Card Reader" with my SD card in the slot, it works 100% every single time but again, lsusb shows it:

bobby@dabox:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 006: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Hi-Speed 21-in-1 Flash Card Reader/Writer (Internal/External)
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 04fc:0c25 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd 
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:c313 Logitech, Inc. 
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c01e Logitech, Inc. MX518 Optical Mouse
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
bobby@dabox:~$

And it's not visible at all in file browsers or mounted. I'm getting scared, I hope my USB isn't done for?!

Re: USB Devices not working right all of a sudden

Fixed.

I had used the wiki page on speeding up one's boot, and I had changed MODULES_AUTOLOAD=yes at the top of rc.conf to no. Changed it back to yes and all is well. I didn't notice any speed difference anyhoo.
