Probably not everything. 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.
