Gentoo Linux
I installed Gentoo twice becuase the first time i missed something in the kernel params and it screwed up.
I have Gentoo installed now and each time i boot with grub it says "error file not found".
I have bzImage stored in /boot/bzImage. this is my menu.lst file.
default 0
timeout 15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda5
title=Windows NT Workstation
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Does it say which file it cannot find?
You have two files on which it could potentially fail:
/boot/bzImage and /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

i'd presume it's the splash line, as you imply that the splash file is on hda1, which you later say is the NT drive. |

Nevermind, i fixed it by recompiling the entire kernel and putting a new bzImage file.
Now a new problem...
Cannot load module "dev_fs".
And the system wont startup normally, only in ro mode..HELP
*EDIT* the splash line was fine, i copied the stuff wrong (oviously cant copy from linux ->windows)

remove the module from loading and see if that boots up with no errors or problems.
also, a Q is always followed with a U after it.. just to let ya know. Like quaalude...

about your mouse problem. I have the same mouse and use /dev/psaux with the ImPS/2 protocol. But this didnt work until i uninstalled gpm. gpm is a program that allows you to use your mouse inside the console - it was fighting X (which im assuming is where you are having probs) for control of the mouse. I belive gentoo installs gpm by default. Try uninstalling gpm and see if your problems go away. Here is a snippit of my XF84Conifg-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
