We didn't change anything in this area between the two kernels, and I have seen no other reports of this behavior. Have you determined that downgrading to 2.4.18-3 gives you your mouse back?
Yes I can reboot into the 2.4.18-3 kernel and everything works fine.
Because you have a uniprocessor system, you will not be affected by the ext3 bug fixed in 2.4.18-4, so 2.4.18-3 is a reasonable workaround for you until the problem is fixed.
Ok; can you track which exact kernel you used for 2.4.18-4 ? (I mean the i386, i586, i686 or athlon version ?)
The kernel-2.4.18-4 that I installed was i386.
