It work now, thanks. It also found my display and SATA devices. Sadly, when
it's running X, I can't use the mouse. It seems to be found, but doesn't work.
I get these messages during boot:
usb 1-1.2: USB disconnect, address 6
usb 1-1.2: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
input: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/input/input4

And there is a device created:
root at emenlow:~# ls -l /dev/input/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Mar 21 22:27 by-id
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Mar 21 22:27 by-path
crw-r----- 1 root root 13, 63 Mar 21 06:31 mice
crw-r----- 1 root root 13, 32 Mar 21 22:27 mouse0
Ideas?
Now, if I can just figure out how to make the [live] image larger... (free space)
I can get on with the real testing I need to do.
Thanks for the help
