I don't know the settings for that kernel, could you send
/boot/config-2.4.22-1-k7 (it should be either that or something really
close).
Input for 2.4 kernels is mostly related to the usb input system (mouse,
keyboard and joystick). In 2.6 kernels it also includes the regular
keyboard and mouse iirc.
You also need hotplug to be enabled in you kernel for this to work (I
belive it is in stock kernels).
Other then the error message does hotplug work correctly or not?
