Hi Aubery,
You should "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices". That is normal;[antonia] ~ > ls -l /proc/bus/usb/ total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Aug 30 09:01 001/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 30 09:01 devices -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 30 09:01 drivers
Was the mouse connected when you produced all the attachments?
regards,
Stephen.

To whom this may concern: I have recently performed a clean install of Red Hat 9. However, I have not been able to get my mouse working. It is a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0A USB and PS2 compatible. When I initially installed Red Hat 8.0, I had a similar problem, which I fixed with a kernel update and specific motherboard drivers. (I am not sure the motherboard drivers did any good, as they were targeted towards Nvidia on-board networking and sound.) I have an ASUS A7N266-C motherboard (Nvidia nForce chipset), which, upon inspecting the mailing lists (redhat install list, etc.) of last January and earlier, was problematic for many people trying to run Red Hat 8. I expected better results with Red Hat 9, and unfortunately have been quite disappointed. I installed Red Hat 9. It would not boot properly from the start. It would hang on "Finding module dependencies...", which was the same time the mouse powered on. The HID interface had just started OK, and I would notice the red light on the mouse turn on. For some reason, after the third try at boot, there would be hard disk activity, the system would find the module dependencies, and the system would boot properly. However, I could move the mouse for half a second before everything hung (same symptoms for both X and console). There was no mouse response and no keyboard response. After that, I tried installing the Nvidia motherboard drivers as I had done before, but this produced no remedy. So I decided to try another approach: install a new kernel. I downloaded kernel 2.4.22 from kernel.org, configured, compiled, and installed it. There have been no improvements with the new kernel. If I disable HID support, X cannot start. If I use the uhci module instead of the ohci module, boot hangs (if I remember correctly, anyway it did not work). If I use the ohci module, the symptoms are the same as under the new Red Hat 9 installation. At this point I have tried everything myself and my roommate know, in order to try to get my mouse to work. This is where I ask for your help, which will be greatly appreciated, as I have spent a significant number of hours on each of the last 5 days trying to get my new system up and running. Here are some descriptions that might be helpful. My mouse is the only thing connected to any of my 4 USB ports. My hardware, setup, and all works fine under Windoze XP Pro. (My machine is dual boot.) The keyboard is PS2. I have also included the following information to help diagnose the problem, which I will attach to this (long) letter. dmesg The output of dmesg. boot.log The section of /var/log/boot.log that corresponds to the latest boot. messages The section of messages for the latest boot. ver_linux The output of the ver_linux script. Various files from the proc filesystem as suggested for bug reporting: proc_cpuinfo proc_iomem proc_ioports proc_modules proc_version lspci_vvv The output from lspci -vvv. Configuration files for the different kernels: current_kernel_config My latest try to get things working (2.4.22) orig_RedHat9_kernel_config-2.4.20-8 The config for the kernel that came with my Red Hat 9 installation. working_RedHat8_kernel_config-2.4.20 The config file used to compile the kernel that was working for me under Red Hat 8.0. (I hope this is the correct one.) ls_proc_bus_usb shows that the devices file is empty.
While this situation may not be a USB bug, this mailing list seems the most appropriate to contact. I greatly appreciate any and all help in resolving this matter. Cheers for Linux folks! A thought: Would things act differently as modules versus compiled into the kernel?
Thanx. Sincerely, Aubrey Barnard
