It seems like usbcore.o is getting built and placed in
drivers/usb in the source tree but not getting
installed in /lib/modules after doing make
modules_install. So, at bootup the usb subsystem isn't
initialized because the usbcore module isn't present.
I can still start usb manually by using modprobe
usb-uhci and it works, but why isn't usbcore getting
installed, and what use it is if usb-uhci seems to be
enough? Copying it over by hand doesn't seem to work
as you get unresolved symbols during a modprobe.

usbcore.o used to be installed with 2.4.18-3, which is
the last kernel I compiled (distributed with RH 7.3).
Here's a relevant section of my config.in:

#
# USB support
#
CONFIG_USB=y
# CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS is not set
# CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set
# CONFIG_USB_LONG_TIMEOUT is not set
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD is not set
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m
# CONFIG_USB_OHCI is not set
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=m
...
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m

Any clues on this?

thanks,
Pete
