I'm now up2date with Kernel-2.4.20-31.9.legacy

The chipset is SiS7001.

I find that if I modprobe usb-ohci, the usb seems to function.
It detects a hub I attached, and finds the Logitech tracball plugged in.

The system, however, hangs on checking for new hardware on bootup if the
usb hardware is plugged in.

I've tried adding post-install usb-oihc /sbin/modprobe usb-ohic to
/etc/modules.conf, but that does not solve the problem.

Any suggestions for how I can try to get the system to recognize the usb
HC on bootup?

Thanks,
