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.

You may want to add the usb modules to /etc/hotplug/blacklist to stop them getting autoloaded by hotplug.

Ok, this is my current file...what is the name of the usb module and where would i add it?

Quote:
#
# 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

# tulip ... de4x5, xircom_tulip_cb, dmfe (...) handle same devices
de4x5

# At least 2.4.3 and later xircom_tulip doesn't have that conflict
# xircom_tulip_cb
dmfe

# Alternate Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 support driver. List it
# here so it won't conflict with an already-loaded eepro100 module.
e100

# Hardware specific video framebuffer modules. If the user wants
# these, they can load them manually or de-blacklist them. Having
# them load automatically may lead to funny side effects with
# certain revisions of video hardware.

The section that already has one usb module would be a good start.

Might be time to upgrade from that P2 266 then, it could be dodgy hardware causing the problems.
