Mounting local filesystem [ok] modprobe: FATAL : Module mousedev not found Mounting USB device filesystem (usbfs) [ok] Linux gentoo 2.6.0-test2-mm4 #7 Tue Aug 5 23:40:05 UTC 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Kernel keeps giving errors that its trying to load mousedev when there is no mousedev because it is proper, due to the fact that the option can not be changed to build a mousedev. Other than this, everything else appears to work.
The mousedev module is supplied by Input device support ---> <M> Mouse interface

No, it does not, thats why I posted this.report Unless you are talking about something specific in that doc., pointing me there with no explanation helps very little.
sorry, in that doc look for the "input layer" section. The options are very tricky, and have moved around. You have to have the proper prerequisites selected. If you don't know what you need/don't need, your best option is to say y to everything. p.s. maybe this would be better served in the kernel bug database (bugzilla.gentoo.org) as mm-sources isn't something that Gentoo produces.
I think in comment #4 you mean bugzilla.kernel.org. I'm experiencing a problem with the vanilla development-sources whereby my laptop touchpad won't work at all even with most input device options selected. Could this be related?
If misconfigured, you'll find that your keyboard/mouse/other input device will no longer work. My mouse(usb) and keyboard(serial) work fine. That is not the problem. The problem is the error that appears it seems for no reason at boot. 2.5 offers a much more flexible interface to devices such as keyboards. - The downside is more confusing options. In the "Input device support" menu, be sure to enable at least the following. --- Input I/O drivers < > Serial i/o support < > i8042 PC Keyboard controller [ ] Keyboards This option [ ] Mice My menuconfig looks nothing like that, thus the problem?? <*> Serial i/o support (needed for keyboard and mouse) There is no < > i8042 PC Keyboard controller. --- Keyboards < Is what my Keyboard option looks like. --- Mouse interface <Is what the mousedev option looks like. They are both non-adjustable.
for comment #5: the -mm sources have some touchpad patches, you'll have to look through LKML to see what the options are for it #6: The menus have changed since the last revision of the posthalloween doc. I just checked and kconfig now defaults to sane settings (finally). you shouldn't have a mousedev module. I would check your modprobe.conf/modules.autoload file and make sure there isn't a line looking for the mousedev module.
There is no call for mousedev in any modules.autoload file to my knowledge.
what about modprobe.conf? if everything is working correctly, I woudln't worry about this error
alias char-major-13 input alias char-major-13-32 mousedev alias char-major-14 soundcore This was found from modules.conf. Do I need to comment this? I tried and nothing changed. I compiled ohci-hcd and psmouse and hid proper as oppossed to modules, and with that setup (usb mouse support compiled in) I get the modprobe :FATAL: Module hid not found as well as mousedev.

Its hotplug - comment all lines containing 'mousedev' in: /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap
------- Additional Comment #12 From Martin Schlemmer 2003-08-06 11:05 EST ------- Its hotplug - comment all lines containing 'mousedev' in: /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap You were right, it got rid of the mousedev error. But, to get rid of the hid error I recompiled the kernel with hid as a module, then that error also went away! Now, I'm happy. New material appeared in the startup routine though. Thought this might be helpful: input : USB HID v1.10 Mouse [M$ M$ 3-button Mouse..blah] etc.. drivers/usb/core/usb.c:registered new driver hid " "/input/hid-core.c: v.2.0:USB HID core driver *Starting devfsd Started device management daemon v.1.3.25 for /dev
