Yup, that's what I did, as it had always worked with previous (<2.4.18) releases. So I rebuilt .config from scratch using make xconfig and also turned off the creation of usbmouse.o. I still had a seemingly strange problem. Even without any USB drivers loaded, the USB mouse still worked. Yet attempting to modprobe the usb-uhci (or uhci) module caused an immediate system lockup. I had switched laptops yesterday so I could send the original back for repair, so I immediately suspected a different BIOS setting. Sure enough, the T23 BIOS has a setting that allows boot from USB devices, and it apparently also emulates a PS/2 mouse from a USB mouse if it's present. When I turned off that BIOS setting, everything began to work fine. This should probably be noted somewhere, as should the need to rebuild .config instead of copying it over from 2.4.18.
