Well wasn't that easy :~) OK my RH9 laptop is booting 2.6.10, and I'm on to the next problem. During boot, a bunch of USB-related error messages scrolled by. I can't find them now anywhere in /var/log, but the impression I retain was that USB support was broken in the new kernel. Now that it's up, my PS/2 mouse isn't working (although the touchpad works). I'm wondering if I need ISA support for this; I'd disabled that. My .config file is attached. thanks! -- Douglas Frank HP Co. ZKO 110 Spit Brook Rd.
