What I have in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases is 'alias char-major-10-1 psmouse'. I also have the following in /etc/modprobe.d/isapnp/isapnp.aliases: -------------snip------------------------------------------------snip # These aliases are used by /etc/hotplug/isapnp.rc and are needed here # because the modules themselves are not providing them. alias pnp:dPNP0400 parport_pc alias pnp:dPNP0401 parport_pc alias pnp:dPNP0510 irtty-sir alias pnp:dPNP0511 irtty-sir alias pnp:dPNP0700 floppy alias pnp:dPNP0800 pcspkr alias pnp:dPNP0B00 rtc alias pnp:dPNP0303 atkbd alias pnp:dPNP0F13 psmouse alias pnp:dPNPB02F analog -------------snip------------------------------------------------snip At boot I get errors that none of these could be loaded. As far as /etc/modprobe.conf, the other day when I ran modconf I got an error that I didn't have a /etc/modprobe.conf. I touched one and the error went away, but the file is empty. I'm still not sure what files I should be editing to fix this, but my guess is /etc/hotplug/isapnp.rc. Any further help and/or insight into how this happened is greatly appreciated.
