Thanks for the workarounds to try. I have had about the same success as Adam. The RPM generated and manually re-generated modprobe.confs are wildly different. I will try the USB workaround but I can't get the touchpad to work. It's a synaptics touchpad. Also, ACPI does not work for me, if enabled, it will freeze just after initialization. I had to download the rpm source and recompile with ACPI diabled.
Thanks all for the info.
