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
