Well, to be honest, I think most questions I ask, should be on the Novice
list.  I actually messed up and sent this to the whole list.  I already
tried the redhat list, but no answers.

So, if nothing was plugged in, the usb-uhci module won't load?

Was it what?  Yes, line # 18 of the blacklist file, has "usb-uhci"
listed.  Which means, do not load it.  I tried to comment out that line,
but no difference noticed.
