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

For soem reason it looks like my first post did not go thru. I am sending this again. SOrry if it posts twice

I unsubcribed from softhome.net 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?

Bleah, we are calling those drivers by their wrong names internally. The code needs to be fixed, care to send me a patch?

thanks,

Just use the HID driver, do NOT use the usbkb or usbmouse drivers. Read the config help entries for those drivers for why you don't want to do that.

thanks,
