USB modules
Hello.
I have just compiled a 2.2.18 kernel w/crypto modules, and am now trying
to get USB working. I have dug around on the debian site, and various
other sites, trying to find an answer as to why I can't install the
input.o
module. Apparently I've done something wrong, but am at a loss. The
current output of lsmod looks like this:

and trying to do "modprobe input" produces:
/lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/input.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/input.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/input.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/input.o: insmod input failed
My system has been upgraded to testing from stable, so there may be fs
issues (I've been playing with 2.4.x kernels recently). I have checked
the layout of /dev/input and it looks like this:

And the major and minor numbers correspond to what I expect to see
for the first USB mouse (mouse0). Am I missing something obvious?
Nowhere is mention made of parameters to be passed to the input.o
module in modconf.
Thanks in advance,
