I figured out what the problem is. First a bit of background. I've been running a RedHat 5.2 based firewall on my Pentium 133 for a couple of years. As it had some closed source components, I decided to switch to Mandrake 8.2 and use SNF. To avoid being off the net while switching over, I installed and configured using a different machine. Then I moved the hard drive and encountered problems. The first problem was SCSI drivers in modules, solved by having two "probeall" statements in modules.conf. About the same time I enabled kudzu. When I moved the SCSI hard drive from the install machine to the firewall machine, kudzu detected the change from a ps/2 mouse to a serial mouse.
All is fine now.
