A great little beast for linux. But no, I didn't configure a damn thing in the kernel as I just did a "yum upgrade-kernel". So yeah, it has nothing to do with USB, I know that for sure, however that is the error that's stopping X from running. I can see it at boot time. It gets USB errors for mouse keyboard and something else, can't remember now...then gets to my login screen (text mode) and cycles thru that 3 times then says "your mouse is hosed, X won't run" basically. I've googled for 3 days doing all this and I'm basically back where I started, with FC1 and kernel 2.4. Oh well, my sound doesn't work anymore either since I rebuilt this laptop. I'm tired. If anyone has a suggestion on the following please let me know: 1. How to fix kernel upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6 having USB loading problems, not seeing mouse, thus killing X at boot. 2. How to upgrade from FC1 to FC2 with no cdrom. (I am experimenting with this right now however...fingers crossed.) 3. Sound drivers with ALSA. We'll keep this for last. Number 1 and 2 are tops right now. Thanks guys. Let me check this attempted upgrade. =G
