Hey,

I updated my debian box to the latest stable release which is etch.
And the xserver stop working. I start the machine with a knoppix live
CD version 2.78 runing on 2.4.27 kernel. At start up I see the below
lines

Wile boot from the hard disk which has upgraded Debian etch and starx
get the below error

Try "modprobe psmouse" and check if /dev/psaux is created then. If this
does not make it work then you might have a problem with udev. In that
case I would like to see the output of the following two commands:

dpkg -l hotplug udev | grep -v '^[D|+]'

ls -l /dev/input/by-path/
