USB fails in 2.4.3-ac6

With 2.4.3-ac6, USB input doesn't work. It works with -ac4, and I'm waiting for -ac13 or so before I try something later.

By "doesn't work", I mean that the USB keyboard and mouse are never detected. A config snippet:

CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y

CONFIG_USB=y
# CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is not set

CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
# CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set

CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=y

CONFIG_USB_HID=y

Has anyone else seen this problem? I suspect it is the Alt UHCI driver which I read somewhere was preferred for VIA-based systems. I don't really know what the difference is between them - the help in the kernel doesn't really say much about how they are different other than that they are.

I must compile the USB stuff into the kernel as I do not have legacy input devices on this system (and am proud of it! hehe)
