I now have kernel 2.6.3 source from Debian Testing/Sarge and am still having some problems.
The ohci-hcd module is not being loaded automatically and in consequence my mouse doesn't work until the module is loaded with Modprobe.
Can anyone tell me what I need to put into /etc/modprobe.d or /etc/modprobe.conf to make the loading automatic?

Personally, I'd add ohci-hcd to the file called /etc/modules which would load it on boot nicely (it's what I use here, anyways).
Cheers,

I had to make a similar arrangement with the 2.4 kernels to get USB modules to load but I would like to find out how to do it 'properly'.

I've tried adding the ohci-hcd line to /etc/modprobe.conf but that still doesn't load it.
Do you think that adding a 'Load this or else' line in modprobe.conf might help?
Another problem was that network modules weren't being loaded but putting the appropriate line in /etc/modprobe.conf did the trick for these.
I am now on to kernel 2.6.4 source from kernel.org but I'm still getting a 2 minute delay between 'BIOS data check successful' and the kernel starting to boot.
Ooh I do hate Linux sometimes!

Just FYI be careful with Debian kernel source, it can have extra patches (and non-free bits removed) so I tend to use source from kernel.org when building my own kernels.

I am 99% sure that hotplug does this for me at boot, do you have hotplug installed? Oh, and kernel 2.6.4 was released a couple of days ago :)

No I don't have Hotplug installed. I used to get kernel sources from kernel.org I may try them again.
