There does seem to be something wrong with the two versions I've tried i.e. 2.6.0 and 2.6.2.
When running make xconfig and looking under 'Input device support' there is a 'Mouse interface' option. In my current kernel 2.4.24 this option is compiled as a module and in the help window for this option in 2.6.2 it says enter 'm' to compile it as a module but there is no way to do this. It's either on or off.
If I change the option in the .config file directly to read CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m it still isn't compiled as a module.
Hmmmn, in my kernel i don't actually have that as an option (I think it is built in because of another option I have selected) anyhow, would you like a copy of my .config? it is optimised for my machibe but I am fairly sure it will boot any x86 machine with ide (once you have changed the cpu type from athlon to whatever you have, and also the acpi could cause a problem i guess, but anyhow)
Anyhow if you want a copy of the .config then drop me a mail offlist.
An interesting development. The source for kernel 2.6.n has disappeared from the Testing/Sarge package lists!
Thanks for the offer Adam but I'll wait to see what happens next.
