Hi all

My problem is that my USB mouse is dead, this is what happened:

- I've emerged ipw2100 for my wireless
- I also had to add some chrypt-stuff in the kernel, to make the emerge
- After this I thought everything was ok...
- Ran an etc-update overwriting all old config files (stupid move i guess)

And the a reboot... now my mouse is dead - it dies during bootup actually right after exiting grub.. The light goes out

I have emergede hotplug and coldplug...

Any suggestions?

Please use dispatch-conf, first of all.
Could you also write out the last few lines of output before the system dies... this would help a lot.

Do you have the necessary kernel support?

I see you are loading the usb drivers as modules. Do you load the drivers in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (or kernel-2.4).

The other issue I see is you have both
Code:
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m

You really only need one of them depending on your chipset. They do interfere with one another.

I think your right, there must be a problem here my: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:

Code:
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:  kernel modules to load when system boots.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6,v 1.1 2003/07/16 18:13:45 azarah Exp $
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line.  Comments begin with # and
# are ignored.  Read man modules.autoload for additional details.

# For example:
# 3c59x
ipw2100


I'm new a this - so sorry for the noob questions :)

How should my autoload look like, im not really sure which modules I should add...?

You will need to add the following modules at least

ehci-hcd ##This is for USB 2.0 support
uhci-hcd ##I'm guessing here. Use lspci to find out what chipset
usbhid ## This is for Human Interface Devices.
