Hi guys.
I've got a pain in the ass problem. I've googled it, searched the
archives for it, all sorts.
I took yesterday to install arjanv 2.6.4 kernel on my Dell 5100 Laptop.
I've installed a vanilla Kernel 2.6.4 on my desktop so I knew faguely
that things should be ok.
I followed the guide:
http://www.freax.be/wiki/index.php/Fedora%20core%201%20with%20kernel%202.6-test
Which all went smoothly. However I cannot get USB to function. The guide
mentions adding:
"alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd"
to modprobe.conf (Yes I've got USB2). Yet it does not work on a reboot.
If I manually type:
"sudo /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd"
then USB springs to life. More importantly my USB mouse works.
Whats with that? Why does the /sbin/modprobe work but the modprobe.conf
not?
Cheers for any help.
Adam
