OK, Im confused, so Ill pass along what I know, and hope that
someone else has a bright idea.

Ive been experimenting with the new 2.6.0 kernel, currently up
to -test7.  

apcupsd has been one of the experiments, since it works fine with
the (hid) usb with my 2.4.20 system,- I was interested in seeing 
how/if it would work with 2.6.0. (on top of RedHat 9).

OK, I have everything as modules.  With two alias lines 

    alias usb-controller    ehci-hcd
    alias usb-controller1   uhci-hcd

in the modprobe.conf (yes the name has changed from modules.conf)
The drivers and the hid module load early in the boot sequence,-
no problems there.  No other modules in the USB branch that are 
going to need to be loaded (there is a memory module, a scanner
module, and a lp module left unloaded).

apcupsd is started from rc3.d at S20apcupsd.  When the startup 
script gets that far, the screen fills with the error message:

    drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: control queue full

If there is any other message, it scrolls off the screen too fast
to read.  I have moved the startup from S20apcupsd to S99zapcupsd
so it is the LAST item started with the same result, just in case
something else needed to be initialized before calling the HID module.

And now the spooky part.
If I comment apcupsd out of init.d (or rc3.d) so it DOESNT get 
started by the startup script, 2.6.0 starts fine.  No error messages.

The system comes up, I become root, and execute the apcupsd startup
script, viz 'apcupsd start' AND IT COMES UP FINE.

So, at this point Im confused.  I have NO idea what could possibly
be happening between the end of the init scripts and the point where
I run the apcupsd startup script by hand to make the big difference.

Any thoughts????
