I haven't compiled my own kernel. The kernel was installed by the netinstall and hasn't been changed since.

The external mouse is a USB-device and that works fine. > You need, at a minimum, the following enabled in your kernel: Is there any way to check if this is enabled in my kernel? uname -a reports: Linux linux 2.6.6-1-386 #1 Wed May 12 13:19:06 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux [...] > Have you tried mounting it as /dev/sda1 (if you have I get mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device Martin List-Petersen suggested to try to use usb_storage, can you break that down for me please?
