I reinstalled the OS, but now the usb-uhci kernel module doesn't load on boot-up. If I run "/sbin/modprobe usb-uhci", it loads and I go on my merry way until I reboot.
Do I need to rebuild the kernel? If so, what would be the menuconfig option (I can't seem to get xconfig to work)?
Since modprobe is a root process, will it execute in rc.local? I've added the command, but haven't rebooted yet to test it. I don't know enough about the rc files to trust adding any customizations to /etc/ files, yet.
Guess I answered my own question. Yes, modprobe will execute b/c I just rebooted and the usb-uhci module loaded. Yea for us! There's an affero for you in that answer, megaspaz.
