I have just changed my mouse to USB and have got it working but I have to load all the modules manually.
Well, the fstab line looks OK to me. Like you, I have USB device FS in the kernel permanently. The right HCI is a module, which seems to get loaded OK, even though it's not in modutils. I think the difference may be the "hotplug" package? That listens to USB and loads modules on demand. Why it would stop usbdevfs being mounted, I don't know.
I believe 'hot plugging' is confined to 2.4 kernels is it not and I am running 2.2.20 - which I forgot to mention. Barry Samuels
