You probably need to tweak your initscripts to get this to happen.  I
know Red Hat needs this due to some changes in the way modules are used,
and the way modprobe has changed.

You don't have USB BIOS emulation support enabled in your BIOS do you?

And do you have this same problem on 2.4 kernels?
