Ah.  I understand now.  "can't locate **module** HID error".. that makes
much more sense now.  Yes, there would be no modules since they are
built into the kernel hence modprobe bars when it can't find the module
for HID.  

For now I'll ignore it.  I want to make sure the 2.4.20 kernel is stable
before I go and make it the default over 2.4.18-14.

Very interesting...

Thanks again!
