I noticed other USB options, have you set these as well? They may not all be necessary. I cut out some others that were in there for the sake of readability. I noticed usb_kbd and usb_mouse were not set though... can this be the real config file they used?? Oh well, keep hacking :) CONFIG_USB=m CONFIG_USB_LONG_TIMEOUT=y CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y # USB Controllers CONFIG_USB_UHCI=m CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT=m CONFIG_USB_OHCI=m CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m # USB Human Interface Devices (HID) CONFIG_USB_HID=m CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=m CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=m # CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set # CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set -- Iain Buchanan <iain@nospam.pcorp.com.au> In any problem, if you find yourself doing an infinite amount of work, the answer may be obtained by inspection.
