[frans@localhost frans]$ cat /etc/modules.conf | grep 180
alias char-major-180 usb-ohci
so it seems to have something to do with USB.
The "Can't locate module ..." means just that: modprobe cannot find
the module, it does not exist or it's in the wrong place.
[frans@localhost frans]$ locate usb-ohci
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/usb-ohci.o.gz
Note the kernel version in the path.
cat /proc/devices says char-major-4 is associated with ttyS.
Maybe something with the keyboard?
Sorry I have no solution just information.
