I had to put my old SCSI CD in the system to install it because it would not see the IDE CD rom on the secondary IDE. It was set up as a master and and worked just fine under DOS. Everything seemed to go OK until I tried to fire up Xwindows. I have the pointer set up as a ps2 mouse (psm0) but when I try to crank up X, it complains that the mouse is not configured. The device exists in /dev. I then looked at dmesg and it complained that the ps2 mouse was not probed due to a conflict. I tried to use -c at boot time to kill everything that I don't have, but it still came up with the same problem. Then I went into the GENERIC config file for the kernel. This is the one that the Walnut Creek CDROM kernel is built from. The line for the psm0 device seems to indicate that there might be a possible conflict with IO_KBD. Can someone please explain what this line means and how I can get around the problem? Thanks Keith -- ***************************************************************************** * Keith A.
