Hello Alan and others,

Thanks a lot for the 2.4.2 kernel and the latest patches. I really
appreciate all your hard work. :-)

I just upgraded to 2.4.2-ac8 from ac6, but to my dismay, my PS/2 mouse
stopped working. (i.e. "cat /dev/psaux" would give a "No such
device" error message.) Either the kernel couldn't detect it, or the
driver wasn't loaded? Not sure. Anyhow, I rebooted my machine to ac6,
and my mouse works again.

2.4.2-ac6:

I have attached my .config in this message. I have CONFIG_PSMOUSE
turned on, so I guess I didn't misconfigure it? Dunno. :-)

Thanks,

Anthony
