What kind of keyboard and mouse? If they are USB then you need to enable the 'hid' and 'usbkeybd' and 'usbmouse' support. If they are PS/2 you need to enable the PS/2 support. I'd start by double checking these settings in your custom kernel. Another thing to try is to install the pre-packaged 2.4 kernel and see if it works at all. If it does, then you know it is your config that is incorrect. Then you can compare and see where they differ (that is relevant). HTH, -D
