my usb mouse doesn't work with all kernel releases i tried. my mainboard is an a8n-sli with a nforce4 chipset. if i plug in the mouse, nothing happens at all, no warning, no error, nada. the interesting part is that my usb harddisk works. this is not a hardware issue as i've tried different mice and they all don't work - they do work in windooze. i do have mouse support enabled: # confcat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep USB CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_RW_DETECT=y CONFIG_USB_HID=y CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y i tried linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r6, inux-2.6.9-gentoo-r9, linux-2.6.11-ck8-r1, linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r7, linux-2.6.12-rc4-mm1 - none of them works. i tried acpi and apm, acpi with acpi=noirq to no avail.

You have not enabled support for your USB1.1 host controller (OHCI).
yes, i removed that as this was suggested by some user to work. it doesn't work with OHCI enabled neither (although i haven't yet tried never kernel sources with it).
