dont ask how, (cuz i dont know) but i managed to get rid of those errors! But...there are new ones (yay ) here they are, when booting from lilo it gives these errors and then just freezes up:
usb.c: unable to get major 180 for usb devices
usb.c: registred new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registred new dirver hub
then freezes. The only usb thing i use is my mouse.
Ok, this is my current file...what is the name of the usb module and where would i add it?

# Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it.
# Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,
# no matter which driver happens to get probed first. Sometimes user
# mode tools can also control driver binding.

# Syntax: driver name alone (without any spaces) on a line. Other
# lines are ignored.

# uhci ... usb-uhci handles the same pci class, so one of the two
# needs to be listed below.
usb-uhci
# At least 2.4.3 and later xircom_tulip doesn't have that conflict

# Alternate Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 support driver. List it
