Upgraded my kernel, mouse is gone

[subnet_rx]

I've just installed 2.4.17, and eventhough I did make modules, and make
modules_install, it is still not picking up my Logitech USB wheel mouse. My
old kernel, 2.4.7 is picking it up fine. An unrelated or maybe related
error on boot is "modprobe error: can't find char-major-10-135. And I see
the error that no device is being assigned to /dev/mouse. What can I do to
resolve this?

[bdl]

$ lsmod


hid
input
mousedev
usb-uhci
usbcore

Are all these mods loaded? I personally have my USB mouse under /dev/input/usbmouse; what is '/dev/mouse' on your system? Did you make sure to include the necessary 'Input core support' devices when building the kernel? What about all the USB config options?

thanks for at least giving me a place to start. I didn't know how to even troubleshoot this. I think I'm going to recompile the kernel and check all the config options again. I was thinking make oldconfig would configure support for all the normal things, and I would just have to add ext3, vfat, etc.

yea make sure those modules are running (those are the ones needed for a usb mouse)
start from there...
