Usb drives not showing

I got a new device today and immediately put openwrt on (following this guide)

then i reinstalled a few apps and coppied over config files from my existing installation

fstab i left alone except to add the entries i had before

i went through the usb guide as well and installed all required packages as far as i can tell.

the only thing that seems to see my 2 usb drives is lsusb (guessing its the seagate entries)

root@OpenWrt:~# lsusb

any ideas why they are not showing up
FYI they hooked up to a powered hub

Did you install blockd, kmod-usb-storage, kmod-usb-storage-uas, kmod-usb2 and the corresponding fs modules (e.g. kmod-fs-ext4, kmod-fs-vfat)?
