From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Up2date kernel upgrade from 2.4.20-8 to 2.4.20-9: on reboot X failed to start with 2 problems. 1. Can't find kernel module sis.o 2. Can't find mouse: /dev/psaux - no such device gpm also failed to start for the same reason presumably, although lsmod shows mousedev module loaded. As for sis.o, it's missing. It's there in 2.4.20-8 under /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/char/drm/sis.o, but missing in 2.4.20-9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the rpm, I've verified it, re-downloaded it and reinstalled it. Same results. Actual Results: Mouse not found, sis.o missing, X won't start Expected Results: Mouse works, sis.o present, X starts Additional info: Diffing the relevant .configs from the two kernel versions, shows < CONFIG_DRM_SIS=m --- > # CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set (plus a couple of irrelevant other changes) So that explains sis.o, but not the mouse
I forgot to mention, mouse is a standard PS/2 Wheelmouse, and works fine under 2.4.20-8.
