Strangely, XF86Config-4 had been reset to its original form (I diffed it with XF86Config-4 to be sure...)  I think this may be because I invoked some sort of X windows configurator from X at one point...  must have reset it.

I redid the changes (per USB HOWTO) and it works great now!

I do not have that file under Mandrake 8.2.

However, syslog reports the kernal using usb-uhci.c on boot.  Succesfully!

I think what is happening is that the kernel is using it, but somewhere the system is still also trying to use it as a module...  Of course it does not exist as a module because make modules recognized it was now included with the kernel...

Something else...  I found that the error on boot is being printed by /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb (pretty sure).  I deleted the line
    alias usb-interface0 usb-uhci
from /etc/modules.conf, but I there is a subroutie in /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb (sub sed_usb_interface) which puts it back in again!  I have no idea what is triggering this.  Any ideas?
