Hi all,

Have Installed Redhat 4, but are having two anoying problems....

1) I have a PS/2 mouse connector on my motherboard, which I do no use. I
actually use a Logitech mouseman. Anyway, when I boot up the Kernel, it detects
the mouseport as an ATI bus mouse. I compiled my kernel making sure the section
on bus mice was NOT selected. On my next reboot, it still detected it. Why???

I cannot get my mouse to work in gpm or X (it worked fine in 3.0.3). I have
tried using both serialports to no avial.

2) When I do a shutdown using either CTRL-ALT-DEL or the shutdown command, the
computer goes through all the usual stuff killing off everything, but when the
machine should reboot it just hangs. I have to Hit the reset button, and then
Ioose all by bios settings.

I have a PNP bios with an Intel 150Mhz Pentium.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wayne
