[Techtalk] USB kb/mouse with RH 7.3 kernel 2.4.19

[Nguyen Nguyen]

Hello,

With RH 7.3 and the as delivered kernel (2.4.18-3), USB keyboard and mouse
work fine.  However when I upgraded to kernel 2.4.19 using the same config
file, I could not get USB keyboard and mouse to work with 2.4.19 kernel.
The system booted up fine with these actions completed successfully:

Mounting USB file system
Init USB controller (USB-UHCI)
Init USB keyboard
Init USB mouse

On looking at /proc/bus/usb/drivers of each kernel:

2.4.18-3 kernel (worked with USB keyboard/mouse)

           USBdevfs
           HUB
   96-111: hiddev
           hid

2.14.19 kernel: 

    USBdevfs
    hub
    hid

On doing a diff between the two files /bus/usb/devices of each kernel, below
are the only differences:

2.4.18-3: B: Alloc= 93/900, us (10%), #int = 1, #iso=0

2.4.19:   B: Alloc= 90/900, us (0%), #int=0, #iso=0

Thanks for anyhelp in getting USB kb/mouse to work with 2.4.19.
