modprobe.conf is generated by *install* of (recent enough) module-init-tools.
Common wisdom is remove module-init-tools and reinstall. If it does not work
I am interested in details.

and if you do modprobe mousedev?
Have you compiled from sources or installed cooker RPM?
{pts/1}% lsmod | grep mouse
mousedev 8924 1
psmouse 12680 0
please, try hotplug, module-init-tools and initscripts from
http://supermount-ng.sf.net/mdk-25/ They should load mousedev automatically;
also this version of initscripts runs usb coldplug script instead of
/etc/init.d/usb so even devices available at boot should be properly
initialized. Besides, hotplug in cooker does not properly support 2.6.
I guess the error is due to keybdev module that is attempted to be loaded in
postinstall. The above mentioned module-init-tools remove this as well.
please, make sure you have
include /lib/module-init-tools/modprobe.default
in modprobe.conf; next version will include it automatically instead on
relying on this line. Currently as suggested remove and reinstall
module-init-tools.
Please let me know any problem you have, te more details the better.
