Laptops :: USB Storage

If i boot from live cd my usb stick is recognized and read / write. If i boot in either frugal or hd install it isnt recognized ... i just get : "usb-ohci.c unlink URB timeout sb.c: USB device not accepting new address" at boot after usb re-check. Ive done lsusb and get : "Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:00000 " but at reboot i get "/proc/bus/usb unmounted". This is very frustrating, seeing as I thought a frugal install was just like running from live cd. apparently not. Thanks in advance for the tips.
