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

[Ronald Jerome]

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.
