In principle, the link "/usr/src/linux" is not required at all and has mainly historical reasons. It's nowadays only used for convenience. > [...] > The machine boots just fine on 2.6.20.6 and 2.6.20.7, the only problems are > (1) keyboard; (2) mouse; and (3) network.

Well, you cloned the old configuration, so all that stuff that worked in the old kernel should be available in the new kernel as well. However, it does not work at the moment, so there must be a problem which indeed could be related.... > o udev 081 # udevinfo -V ...to udev. udev is responsible for creating and removing device nodes, renaming network interfaces, etc. If devices were missing, then this would of course explain why some of your components (mouse, etc.) do not work. However, other components seem to work, so it's not failing completely or in a consistent way which does not allow any accurate conclusion. All your problematic components are hardware-related, so I am not surprised that apache, mysql etc. work as expected - that's all pure software, isn't it? > Out of the entire list, the only requirement I did not update was udev > because the documentation said it was not a good idea. Well, udev is a core component and I would agree that messing around with udev is not such a good idea ;-) I am not really sure what advice to give in this situation, maybe others can contribute their point of view in this discussion.
