Hm, Kudzu shouldn't care, you just should not be able to load the usb-ohci module on startup. At least that's what happens to me on my boxes.
Anyway, here's the documentation that you need: The module usb-ohci is now gone. Use ohci-hcd instead.
The people with UHCI controllers have a big more documentation to read: The module uhci is now gone. If you used this module, use uhci-hcd instead. The module usb-uhci is now gone. If you used this module, use usb-uhci-hcd instead. If you have a preference over which UHCI module works better for you, please email greg@kroah.com your comments, as one of these modules will be going away in the near future.

Heh, I don't mess around with module aliasing, so I don't know the first thing of what to do in this situation. Someone reading the above documentation should be able to figure it all out.

We really don't use CHANGES anymore. Where do you propose things like the above few sentences go to where everyone will know to look?
