As I can't get 2.6.7 to boot anymore the module list may not be
accurate.

Problem Description:
I've tried without success to resolve the mouse problem with KVM
switching from
and back to Linux with adding psmouse.proto=imps but when I boot the
kernel with that option it panics. 

What I did was to install kernel-image-2.6.7-1-k7-smp from debian
testing and
booted. Everything worked as execepted, no errors.

I added psmouse.proto=imps to the kernel boot parameter list (using
grub) and
tried to boot again. 

It gets as far as finding the SCSI controller and the raid controller
and tries to find file systems. It can find the root fs on /dev/sda1
and starts the swap on /dev/sda2 but gets very confused that /dev/sda3
is in fact a logical partition. So the kernel tries to check that
partition with every fs it has available but eventually fails and
panics.  So I removed the psmouse.proto=imps from the kernel
parameters, rebooted and the kernel still panics! So I can't use 2.6.7
at all now. 

What on earth is going on? 

Unfortunately I can't determine if it is the SATA raid driver or the
psmouse.proto thing that is the problem. 

Steps to reproduce:
Boot the kernel.

So far as we know, this bug does not affect any kernel version in Debian
4.0 ("etch", oldstable) or later releases.
