Only other problems were a message about keybdev being not found which I understand is normal, and a usb-ohci not found error which hopefully I found the missing config setting for. If I can just figure out why the mouse doesn't work, I'll be running on 2.5.69 Thanks again On Sat, 2003-05-24 at 06:14, mikpe@csd.uu.se wrote: > On 24 May 2003 00:02:30 -0400, John Shillinglaw wrote: > >Anyway I get not found messages when redhat modprobes char-major-10-1, > >eth1, etc. when it boots up.
