I'm using K6/2 on MVP3, which has notorious USB support under windoze at least. I'm not using USB for anything, but that doesn't necessarily mean USB support couldn't be interfering. / is on hda, but there is also sda and sr0 on sym53c8xx, plus a Crystal 4235 ISA sound card. Come to think of it, my report was technically inaccurate. I reported the mouse not surviving boots after the first, but in fact I don't remember the number, which was greater than one in most or all cases, but just small, less than 5 or so, and IIRC, only one to runlevel 5 on the RC3 install. My RC3 install is the only one on which I remembered to run sndconfig on the first boot. It may be that on the earlier installs that mouse death only followed the boots on which I remembered to run sndconfig. Next install I'm going to have USB and serial disabled in BIOS and skip running sndconfig until such time as I've had the PS/2 mouse survive multiple boots. Furthermore, also IIRC, the mouse problem started not only with RC2, but also with the replacement of an ESS1868 ISA sound card with the Crystal 4235. -- ". . . . in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you . . . ."
