The reason is that you configed your linux to load some deamons in
/etc/rc.?/ even they nolonger exists. A quick tip:

1) run /sbin/chkconfig --list for list of deamons to be started when boot
2) you will fird some thing like "usb" or "mouse" /etc ...
3) check your run level in /etc/inittab ( is it 3?)
4) Delete deamons you dont want to load by `/sbin/chkconfig --del --level 
<deamon_name>

The next problem may be solved in the same way.
