Kernel USB modules not loading?

[Warren Togami]

This is a really bad report, but has this been happening for everybody 
within the last 2 weeks or so?  I have been using only my laptop lately 
so I have not noticed, but now I realize that both my laptop and new 
rawhide installs on both i386 and x86_64 from the past 3 days are not 
automatically loading the USB kernel modules.

Yes, or rather, this has been happening to me too. I vaguely remember 
seeing another bug report on this as well (one with enough analysis that 
I didn't see any point in me-tooing it - I can't find this bug report 
now though), in which the reporter said that the initscripts checked if 
the USB modules were already loaded, and something changed in the kernel 
that caused this check to succeed even if the USB modules were not 
loaded. Meanwhile, 'modprobe usb-controller' and 'modprobe 
usb-controller1' brings everything up as far as I can see, which 
indicates that it is not a kernel problem as far as I can tell.

The bug you're referring to is closed now, so presumably it's the same 
problem, and presumably it's fixed in the latest initscripts. (Thanks! 
Haven't had time to update and test yet myself, but the reporter's 
closing comment sounds promising.)

I can confirm that the updated initscripts does fix this problem.  I was
having to deal with this for a few days as well.
