One of my two MED500X units does not seem to be able mount USB drives and thus can not be updated using the standard method. (See also

I've tried telnetting into the boxes and see what mounts are created when an USB stick is being inserted.
The unit which works OK shows the following mounts:
/ # mount
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
/dev/mtdblock/2 on /usr/local/etc type yaffs (rw,noatime)
/dev/rd/0 on /mnt/rd type vfat (rw,nodiratime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1)
/dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /tmp/usbmounts/sda1 type vfat (rw,nodiratime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=winnt,utf8)
The second unit shows just:
/ # mount
/dev/root on / type yaffs2 (ro,noatime)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
/dev/mtdblock/2 on /usr/local/etc type yaffs (rw,noatime)
/dev/rd/0 on /mnt/rd type vfat (rw,nodiratime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1)
The same USB drive is used in both units.
The second unit does not recognize the SCSI device on bus 2. This is the USB drive. It seems to me that the second unit has either a defect in the USB h/w, or a USB driver issue. Either way it's unable to upgrade firmware on this unit using the standard method.
Since it runs on an fairly old firmware (2.1), I would like to upgrade so that both units run on the same (4.x) firmware.
Any ideas on how to upgrade without using USB or getting the USB ports to live again are greatly appreciated !
