Restart is required to mount USB after a kernel upgrade?

I have problem with required restart after kernel upgrade couse can't use USB. This is common in my two machines (laptop & pc). What can I do with this annoying problem. I've tried to google for an answer but can't find anything usefull. Only reasonable info was from stackexchange, but it won't work. I still have all old kernels in /lub/modules

ls /lib/modules/
3.10.10-1-ARCH  3.10.5-1-ARCH  3.11.1-1-ARCH  3.11.2-1-ARCH  3.8.10-1-ARCH  3.8.6-1-ARCH  3.8.8-1-ARCH  3.9.3-1-ARCH  3.9.5-1-ARCH  3.9.7-1-ARCH  3.9.9-1-ARCH
3.10.3-1-ARCH   3.10.9-1-ARCH  3.11.1-2-ARCH  3.11.4-1-ARCH  3.8.11-1-ARCH  3.8.7-1-ARCH  3.9.2-1-ARCH  3.9.4-1-ARCH  3.9.6-1-ARCH  3.9.8-1-ARCH  extramodules-3.11-ARCH

Yes, you should reboot after updating the kernel.

Re: Restart is required to mount USB after a kernel upgrade?

And if you're not going to reboot to use the new kernel, why upgrade it immediately?

It's a little strange (but otherwise not very relevant, I think) that you still have all those (empty?) directories (not kernels, unless you did something really unusual) in /lib/modules. I have occasionally seen two, but the next upgrade would remove the leftover directories from previous kernels.

Here's a workaround for your annoying "issue" - load the usb-storage driver at boot-time, instead of on demand.

That said, karol and Raynman are right.

Maybe I can't do such obvious thing like loading usb module or it just won't work:).

$ ls /etc/modules-load.d/ -1
enp2s0.conf
loop.conf
usbcore.conf
virtualbox.conf

$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/usbcore.conf
usbcore

$ lsmod | grep usb
usbhid                 41434  0 
hid                    89751  2 hid_generic,usbhid
usbcore               178119  5 ohci_hcd,ohci_pci,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid
usb_common              1648  1 usbcore

$ dmesg | tail -n2
[  142.891160] CPUM: APIC 03 at 00000000fee00000 (mapped at ffffc900145a4000) - ver 0x80050010, lint0=0x10700 lint1=0x10400 pc=0x00400 thmr=0x10000

And usbdrive still don't mounted automatically

Instead of loading 'usbcore' at boot, you probably need to load 'usb_storage'
