The first problem was that both my mice (USB Belkin and builtin joystick mice did not work. The second problem was that my pcnet_cs type network card was not initialized. I should have ran dhclient first, but have had troubles getting into the GNOME window manager, unless I brought up X first, during my 2.5.x stock trials. But loading into X, without a mouse stopped me from trying to test the network feature. The third problem had to do with no USB support. I take it that is why the USB mouse failed. --- My experience with my own homegrown 2.5 kernels is that I lose my USB mouse, but the builtin mouse will work. with the Red Hat kernels, my USB mouse works, but the builtin is not functioning. My ethernet card and pcmcia seem to work. --- My thoughts: I can possibly change the mouse settings to reflect the builtin. (I prefer the USB mouse). Then try to run dhclient to check out the network. Anyway, to get out of X and reboot my machine into a normal kernel, I had to hit alt-F2, then type reboot, to reboot my machine into a regular RH kernel. Legacy machines to high memory. You'll have a lot of input. Jim > > One of the most important things to me about the upcoming 2.6 kernel is the > 2TB block device limit.
