Mandrake's latest kernel release version 2.4.21-18mdk is a fine kettle of fish. It broke my system. I know it's suppose to fix several systems with problems with acpi but it broke my system severally.
Abit VP-6 was running fine with the old kernel even though I had to add the "acpi=off" to the boot. But now with the new kernel I've lost all usb devices and the acpi=off or on doesn't make a difference. No mouse, no joystick, no radio and no anything off the usb bus.
Any thoughts on getting the usb devices back??

Larry, I'm willing to bet usb isn't starting. do lsmod and look for usbhci (or similar my spelling may be off) if you don't see it do /etc/init.d/usb restart .... if that brings it back do chkconfig usb on and it will restart on bootup.

Thank you. I started looking at everything and found that the usb on the motherboard which has the hub attached with mouse and such is not working. I have a NEC2.0 card and when changing the mouse and radio to this card the system now works with these attachments. What has happened to the motherboard usbs not being able to attach anything is the question now. I tried these connection with WindowsXP and they still work as usual, just not in ML with the new kernel.
BTW this is running without the requirement of "acpi=off" now.
Sill troubleshooting
Thanks
