Subject: generate-modprobe question and USB fatal error during INIT:

I unsubribed "[email protected]" and subscribed
with this address. Softhome did not give me enough
space.


Anyhow I think I know what the problem is? Its with
the modprobe.conf.

I updated both my mkinitrd and mod-utils with the aid
of Paul Nasrat. I dunno if you know who he is.

Anyhow when I run "generate-modprobe.conf >
/etc/modprobe.conf

I see that the the sections for "usb-uhci" "mousedev"
and "keybdev". Those are incorrect. They should be
"uhci-hcd", "usbmouse" and "usbkbd". Once I changed
the "usb-uhci" to "uhci-hcd" at least the usb
installed ok but those changes I made for the mouse
and keyboard still does not work.

Is there something screwed up somewhere else?

If I rerun "generate-modprobe.conf >
/etc/modprobe.conf

Everything defaults back to "usb-uhci", "mousedev" and
keybdev"?

WHy I am not sure.

Is there a fix for this to get the modprobe.conf to
correlate to the new kernel modules?
