I am running Mandrake 7.1 and I have always had USB failures when Linux was
booting up, but it was no big deal because I didn't have any USB devices so
I just disabled the USB module at startup.  Well that was fine until I just
bought a USB mouse and now I need to try and find some answers.  It fails on
startup and it prints this message out to my log:

    Aug 28 02:32:36 jarrod modprobe:
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/usb/usb-uhci.o:
    Aug 28 02:32:36 jarrod modprobe: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent
than /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/modules.dep
    Aug 28 02:32:36 jarrod modprobe: init_module: Device or resource busy
    Aug 28 02:32:36 jarrod modprobe:
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/usb/usb-uhci.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/usb/usb-uhci.o failed
    Aug 28 02:32:36 jarrod modprobe:
/lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/usb/usb-uhci.o: insmod usb-interface failed
    Aug 28 02:32:36 jarrod usb: Loading USB interface failed

there is also a line in my /etc/conf.modules file that sets up an alias:

    alias usb-interface usb-uhci

Can anyone tell me what I can do to try and fix this problem?  I'm pretty
confident that once I get this resolved my mouse should work, based on the
fact that the linux-mandrake.com site says that Mandrake supports all USB
mice and keyboards.

            Thanks in Advance,

                                        Jarrod
