    The kbd ioctl is a known problem with [kx]dm and Xsun* servers, I never
    saw it with XF86_*. I cannot say anything about your modprobe problems,
    because the message is not complete. Look in the device file, which
    module he cannot load, and check if it is important or not.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
