Did you include PS/2 mouse support?

Did you include both iso9660 FS support and ide-cdrom or sr_mod?
Include them as modules.

I'm really sure there's a particular option for PS/s, and it's not 'PS2
Auxiliary' nor 'bus mouse'...I don't have a uncompressed kernel tree atm
tho, so I can't check for you.

Um, if you don't really know which settings you need, why not get the
.config from Debian's 2.4.20-k7 package, drop it in your kernel source
and run 'make oldconfig' to fix up the new options that your patches
introduce?  This'll give you a kernel that has everything standard
Debian kernels have, plus support for your sound card, et al.
