Not any more, kernel-source-2.6.6 entered sarge a while ago.

You need to set CONFIG_USB, CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD, and CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT
in your .config file.  If you choose to build them as modules (which I
recommend), this will result in usbcore.ko, ohci-hcd.ko and usbhid.ko
for a 2.6.6 kernel.  Load these and you should be fine.

Or, install kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc and hotplug.

Regards, Jens.
