Description of problem:
On a RHL9 system, up2date, plus packages to enable 2.6.0-test1 kernel,
rc.sysinit always tries to load nonexistant keybdev and mousedev drivers on
2.6.0-test1.1.25 kernel.  From boot.log:

Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Mounting USB filesystem:  succeeded
Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 modprobe: FATAL: Module keybdev not found.
Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Initializing USB HID interface:  succeeded
Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 modprobe: FATAL: Module keybdev not found.
Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Initializing USB keyboard:  failed
Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 modprobe: FATAL: Module mousedev already in kernel.
Jul 16 11:54:44 D5JPLF11 rc.sysinit: Initializing USB mouse:  failed

Additional info:
Comment 1 Eric Bursley 2003-09-07 02:32:06 UTC 
this is resolved by updating your rc.sysinit and /etc/init.d/halt scripts as per
the following url:

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2003-09-08 01:48:21 UTC 
Changing it exactly like that would break booting 2.4 kernels, and is therefore
not an option.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-01-28 07:34:16 UTC 
Will be fixed differently in 7.44-1.
