The reason your usb modules are failing to load is because the module names have changed between 2.4 and 2.5/6. The initscripts are trying to load the 2.4 names and failing because they don't exist. I also have some Dell computers which won't work with the "Full" HID interface, and require the simple boot modules for the keyboard and mouse to be configured and loaded.
