I just did a clean install of fedora 1 and i want to upgrade to 2.6.3 kerneli installed the kernel some how by surfing the net for instructions.
and i worked but when i boot it up it comes to a screen saying that the mouse driver wasn't load loaded correctly so i tryied a different mouse no luck.

finally i found a rpm for kernel 2.6.3 and it didn't work either how can i fix this.

issue two vncserver works just like in redhat 8 and 9 but when the tightvnc viewer from windows loads it it just shows a shell. no gui why.

thanks for anyhelp in advance.

one more question sorry for so many.

i did a ln -s /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5

this worked great when i rebooted it was gone how can i make it permanent.

yeah, I have the same problem, everything seems to be fine in the kernel boot up message, but when it come to the X-Windows system, it said cannot start because of can't detect my mouse.

i had the same problem and this is how i fix it
i changed my etc/modules.conf :
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
to
probeall usb-interface uhci-hcd

and it fix my problem .

good luck

nope it doesn't work, cos, I open it, I can't saw "probeall usb-interface usb-uhci", so I added "probeall usb-interface uhci-hcd", but doesn't work

ok if you have this :

alias usb-controller usb-uhci

change it to this :

alias usb-controller uhci-hcd

I had the same problem - that the X server wouldn't start.
The log said no /dev/psaux device. I tried what others have suggested but no luck.
My mouse is a Logitech optical USB mouse connected to PS/2 using a converter plug.
What worked for me is this

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
# InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Background. Maybe usefull for someone.
I installed FC2-test1 on a blank disk, gave it quick spin and everything looked ok.
I then attempted up2date. It said it would use such and such mirror but then crashed before having done anything. Said something with python. I then instead downloaded everything manually from that mirror using ftp. To install I used 'rpm -Fvh *.rpm' - repeatedly until further repeats did not resolve any more dependencies. After that quite a few packages were not installed because of unresolved dependencies. I looked at the files and decided to install using '--nodeps'. After that some packages were still not installed - now because of conflicts. I did not install these (with --force).
I then booted and that's when the X server wouldn't start.

But it now works, runs kernel 2.6.3, KDE 3.2 final, up2date works and it looks promising.

Well, this doesn't work, mmm, what I will try to do is to update my X-Server, to see if there any better, cos, everything booting fine from those message apart from the X, so yeah, I will try update those and c

the funny thing is i just have a generic 2 button mouse

Read this guide .. hope it can helps you out ..

http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html

Pay attention on the USB part .. adding sys filesystem and some other changes needed to get 2.6.0 running smoothly ..

yo is working now.... , well, I have done is re-install Fedora, update the kernel and change the line that isso said, then update the X-Free Components.... well, at least works for me....

heya man, just wondering, can you mount cd's with 2.6 running and copy multiple files from a cd to the hard disk? seems i cant, sometimes it mounts and sometimes i get an error, either way many files from the cd cant be copied because of "read errors" though when switching back to the default kernel it works fine.

just made a thread about this in more depth though.

I m trying to install kernel 2.6.3 from the tar file available at www.kernel.org. After selecting all the required options in the kernel configuration window, when i make modules and make modules_install, everything goes fine. But when i do the final make install, i get the following error message:

Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh /root/linux-2.6.3/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.3 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map ""
No module ata_piix found for kernel 2.6.3, aborting.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

I have an Intel P4 2.40C GHz HT processor with Intel D865GBF mboard and a Seagate 80 GB SATA HDD. I have Fedora core 1 installed. 512 MB RAM with SONY CD writer.
kindly help. i tried to install using an RPM, but X server didnt start.

try to get the rpm mate... much easier

Are you in any way using NVIDIA driver? You need to rebuild the driver for the new kernel.
