You should probably upgrade your version of modutils, as this isn't needed in the latest versions.

Every distribution does its startup a bit differently, and not many of them yet ship with support for USB.
And this should be answered by the Linux USB HOWTO and FAQs which are available at http://www.linux-usb.org/
If you have any other Linux USB specific questions, I suggest that you send them to the linux usb mailing lists, which are described at that same web page.
