Hm, Kudzu shouldn't care, you just should not be able to load the usb-ohci module on startup. At least that's what happens to me on my boxes. Anyway, here's the documentation that you need: The module usb-ohci is now gone. Use ohci-hcd instead. The people with UHCI controllers have a big more documentation to read: The module uhci is now gone. If you used this module, use uhci-hcd instead. The module usb-uhci is now gone. If you used this module, use usb-uhci-hcd instead. If you have a preference over which UHCI module works better for you, please email greg@kroah.com your comments, as one of these modules will be going away in the near future. > Most likely this would be of course module aliasing entires > which could be used in /etc/modules.conf to cheat around > kudzu - this way it would be for example possible > to have a nice dual boot configuration. Heh, I don't mess around with module aliasing, so I don't know the first thing of what to do in this situation. Someone reading the above documentation should be able to figure it all out. > (I can adjust my boot scripts to set up an apriopriate symlink > from /etc/modules.conf to modules-2.5.18.confg and > modules-2.4.18.conf debpending what I'm booting anyway...) > > In short - if you change something about the configuration > and usage - just document it please. We really don't use CHANGES anymore. Where do you propose things like the above few sentences go to where everyone will know to look? thanks, greg k-h
