Not sure if you have already got this figured out, but I'll reply anyway.
I've been having the same problem, but I just got my mouse working. When redhat boots up, it tries to load the module 'usb_uhci', but in 2.6, the module's name is 'uhci_hcd'. I'm not sure how to change what redhat loads at startup yet, but once you log in you can do '/sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd' and that will get your usb working.

edit the /etc/modprobe.conf

You need to edit the file /etc/modprob.conf file to have it load the correct modules on boot up.
