Exclamation loading the USB module at boot time


New Mandrake 10.2 install. (kernel 2.6)

-I had to disable my USB controller in the BIOS to install the OS.
-After install, I re-enabled it in the BIOS, and now, when I plug my digital camera, it doesn't recognize it. (it did before with a previous install having USB controller enabled in the bios at install time)
-I do NOT have 'USB' inside /proc/bus.

Here is the result of a lspci |grep USB

00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 03)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 03)
00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 03)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03)

Someone told me it's because I do not have the usbcore module loaded. Is this the reason? If so, how do I add this module and make sure it works at boot time?

Let me know if I'm missing anything, I'll add it.

Here's my line from /etc/modprobe.conf that loads the usb drivers:

Code:
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
I also have mdk10.2(LE 2005). You can try adding the above line to your modprobe.conf file.
