that is why I have modprobe.compat. please load the latest module-init-tools from usual place and regenerate modprobe.conf. It now includes default aliases and compat aliases automatically. or just replace usb-uhci with uhci-hcd I have the > same experience with ALSA; the ALSA service fails to do its stuff, > saying an ALSA driver is already loaded. modprobe snd-ymfpci brings it > up. sound-card-0 and sound-slot-0 together do not work at the very least. IMHO it is a bug in initscripts.

If it does not work I am afraid I cannot help much, I do not have the hardware.

That is why new version includes default aliases automatically.

I do not believe it sorry :)
