I have installed 2.2.15. I did nnot chage the link to point system.map
to system.map-2.2.15, but from the messages, it seems the kernel found
it anyway. And there werent any incorrect system version messages. I
also havnt yet changed the vmlinux link to point to vmlinux-2.1.15pre19.
I did use mouseconfig to show USB 3 button mouse, shich works under
2.2.6 (Final).

My problem... neither my ADB nore my USB mouse works under 2.2.15. I can
boot under 2.2.6 and all is well with the USB mouse.

Any ideas. Do i HAVE to set the soft links, espially since the kernel
seems to find evertything.. well, except the mouse driver.

Any and all help appreciated.

Rick,

First, are you using BootX or yaboot (where is the kernel loading from)?
Also, during the kernel boot process, have you verified the kernel version
as listed during the boot seqeunce to make sure the correct version is
loading (its usually one of the first lines that appear during booting).

It sounds to me that since you haven't updated the vmlinux and system.map
links, you may still be loading the old kernel. It's very odd that you're
not getting kernel version errors during boot if you think you're using the
new kernel and old sys.map combo.

For reference, I'm running the 2.2.15pre19 + (system.map) and both USB/ADB
meeces work GREAT! I am using BootX, however.

Good Luck!

I am using BootX. I tried pointing the vmlinux to the 2.2.15pre19, but
that didnt help. At the text login message, 2.2.15pre19 does show as the
kernel.

Cool, the thing to keep in mind when using BootX is that the kernel it loads
does not exist on the linux partition, but rather in the Linux Kernels
folder in your System Folder.  Make sure you have that copy stored there
(which sounds like you already do) and be sure to have the correct
System.map file (which you should have downloaded with the kernel) in your
/boot directory on the linux partition. Pointing vmlinux in the /boot dir
should not make any difference since the one that's loaded by BootX comes
from the Mac Partition. Also, make sure the system.map file name is correct
(screwed this up a few times myself)... System.map (case sensitive). Lastly,
did you also download the 2.2.15pre19 modules and copy them to the linux
partition?

Aside from verifying the correct kernel on the mac partition, System.map
file in the /boot dir, and the 2.2.15pre19 modules, you should be rockin.

Good Luck!

2.2.15pre19 is loaded my BootX from the Mac kernels folder. The correct
System.map is present and the correct modules have been copied to
/lib/modules. The USB mouse works in 2.2.6 and not in 2.2.15.
