Thanks to both of you! I have the same problem and didn't dare to ask. 'will
report in case this doesn't work though. 

Since I'm there: `ps` is also broken in my custom 2.0.0 kernel. It complains
about being unable to find libproc.so. Any chance this may be cured at the same
time? I got into the trouble of making a custom kernel because of the PS/2
mouse problem amply mentionned before...
