Your hadrware detection daemon (kudzu) will detect the USB device and
it will try to configure it. You are getting the error because you
haven't copiled the support for USB. It should be safe to ignore
this. To get rid of the errors configure kudzu to ignore USB.

These sort of errors are reported when the kernel does a modprobe for
a missing module. Can you quote the exact error? Because I suspect the
error could be something like
cannot find module char-major-10-xxx
where xxx is the minor number of the device.
Type the following command to get the list of all the devices with
major number 10 along with thier minor numbers.
ls -l /dev/ | grep 10,
And now you can find out which driver is missing.
If this device happens to be one of "agpgart" you'll not be able
to run X, if it is "psaux" then your PS/2 mouse won't work, if it is "rtc"
or anything else there shouldn't be any problems.

Do you mean "auto power off"? I am not really sure, enabling some
"Power management support" options may do the trick.
