Description Marcus Moeller 2002-11-02 07:58:02 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
I4 ve got simple 3 Button PS/2 mouse. The mouse was detected during installation
of RH8.

During the first reboot (after installation) kudzu displays that there is no
generic PS/2 mouse available and asks me to keep configuration / remove
configuration / ignore.

   To make it clear: I tried every possibility - none of them caused any action.

So when I tried to log in, the mouse AND the keyboard freezes. I tired to plug
in several PS/2 mouses but the result is the same. Here is a desciption what I4
ve already tired.

- tried to take a look at /proc/pci to see if IRQ 12 (that is assigned to a PS/2
mouse by default) is already used -> it4 s not

- tried to take a look at /proc/isapnp to see if IRQ 12 is already used -> that4
s what I4 ve found:

...
 Logical device 3 'ESS0002:Unknown'
    Compatible device PNP0600
    Device is active
    Active port 0x168,0x36e
    Active IRQ 12 [0x2]
    Resources 0
...

So I guess that there is a conflict with that sound card. It is a ESS ES1868
Plug and Play AudioDrive.

Perhaps anyone could tell me how to fix that issue

The kernel should not be assigning IRQ 12 to anything with the PnP code, almost
surely.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
