Hi to everybody

I decide to istall Linux Mandrake 8.1 but i have problem with my usb wirelles mouse (MS intelli). After the istallation of linux the mouse was working just up and down. okey i fix tha problem but putiing "hid" in /etc/modules under "scsi_hostadapter".OK. then i decide to compile the kernel (2.4.8) and follow the order to istall my usb ISDN modem(intracom Netmod). After the compilation of the kernel and boot lilo from bzImage my mouse is not working anymore. I check the make menuconfig usb adapter and everything are all okey and they are built in the kernel. I do not know where is the problem.

Can anybody please help me with this wird mouse problem? And if anybody know help to install my USB modem?

Thanks

Did you remember to configure usb mouse support in the new kernel?

Yes my friend i did it.

The problem i think is because the libraries are not load.

Do you know how i make the libraries to load?

It won't be libs, you can check the loaded modules with "lsmod" as root and you can load a module with "modprobe <module-name>" again as root.

I check it my friend and it do not show anything at all.

I have to pou the path for libraries.

In the begining when linux is booting is says :

cd /usr/src/linux2.4.8/......../mousedev [failed]
"hid" and many other are failed. I thing is because the libraries for the executables they do not load.How can i load libraries?

I also wanna ask you Aussie if you know another one thing.I have to hard disk in my computer. In the one i have istall Windows XP greek edition which is my master and is devide in two partitions. The 1st partiotion in FAT32 files system and the othe with my mp3 in NTFS. Linux in /mnt/windows the show the one partion in FAT32. I mount the other partion in windows2 directory (/mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows2) and i can see alla the folder of this partion except greek name directories. How can i make linux see this directories ?

When you make your kernel did you do "make modules" and "make modules_install"?
For the ntfs partition you need to load another module before you can mount the partition. Linux can read ntfs but write support is experimental and not recomended.

I make modules and i make istall when i was compiling the kernel.
The problem my friend is that it can not load libraries and for example when i give the order "lsmode" it just show me a this three things

"Module Size Used by "

nothing else but before compilation it show many things.

Also when i type "modprobe acm" for example because i want to install this driver it answer to me "insomd /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o.gz failed"
And when i type "modprobe mousev" the same .

How can i make libraries to load at startup? i know tha i have to put on command somewhere but i do not know this command or path and where to place it



Thanks

If the modules won't load when you modprobe them they won't load at boot either. Libs don't load at boot but get used at run time by what ever needs them. There seems to be something wrong with the kernel you compiled, check that you enabled loadable module support in your config and perhaps you should go back to the default mandrake kernel and look at how it's configured.

To be sure how i do it can you please tell me exactly the command i will use and where to go ??

To check your kernel config open /usr/src/linux/.config in a text editor, (the . means that it's a hidden file).

and what to check over there?

#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
# CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set
# CONFIG_KMOD is not set

I had to put in the text and this line? or check if they are written? if there are writen the same then what?

You need to check for CONFIG_MODULES=y

it is like this
#
# Loadable module support
#
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y


next my friend what i do?
