From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: Anaconda fails to create /etc/sysconfig/mouse, but the gpm init.d file requires it to enable gpm. Maybe it shouldn't? Anyhow, running system-config-mouse after installation is complete doesn't remember the mouse selection in the kickstart file (or chosen at install time? I haven't tried interactive installs, but I suppose the selection is still there), so you have to select the right mouse type again in order for text console mouse to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.92-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Kickstart install, with several different PS/2 mouse types specificed Actual Results: Notice in the first boot that console mouse fails to start because it's not configured. Expected Results: It should have been configured. Additional info:
Err... Why was this reassigned to system-config-mouse? system-config-mouse *does* create the file. It's the install (kickstart, if it matters) that doesn't.

The problem is that system-config-mouse is not getting called during the installation. It used to get called but something has changed in either anaconda or kudzu due to the switch to the 2.6 kernel and /dev/input/mice. I'm changing the component to kudzu at notting's request.
Fixed in 1.1.59-1.
