Description Daniel Stone 2000-06-20 23:56:26 UTC
This morning, I tried to create a KickStart disk with "mkkickstart" and it 
was all fine and dandy. Until I actually wanted to use the KickStart disk 
to install a new machine. I have a PS/2 mouse attached to the machine I 
ran mkkickstart off (and, indeed all the systems around here), and 
mkkickstart wrote "mouse ps/2" to the config file. All is good and well - 
or so it seems. RH objects to this and throws up an error about it not 
being a valid type. So I went to the file referenced and looked up the 
types for mouseToMouse - the struct/function it was b0rking on, and lo and 
behold, "ps/2" wasn't a valid mouse type there - it's either "genericps/2" 
(generic 2-button PS/2 mouse) or "generic3ps/2" (generic 3-button PS/2 
mouse). Not enough for me to set my hair on fire and run screaming out of 
the room, but reasonably annoying.

Regards,
Daniel Stone

This appears to be fixed in Raw Hide (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/rawhide/i386/).  With
MOUSETYPE set to "ps/2", mkkickstart prints "mouse genericps/2".  Please
reopen this bug if you find that this is not the case.
