Stephen,
Thanks for the reply.
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.
Jon
