I'm trying to get my usb ports to work on my Lombard. I have 2.2.8pre17
running OK but without USB or 3-button emulation working (in console or

panic after loading the adb mouse handler and pty configuration (see

/dev/input/) or a problem with the Lombard's usb ports?

Neither. I use a self compiled 2.2.18 and there's no such problem. At the
time where you see the panic, the kernel doesn't yet know about the root
filesystem, and consequently doesn't know about /dev/input/ either. What
sort of USB mouse are you using? Do you have both ADB mouse and USB HID
support configured?

I have a logitech wheel mouse and configured in support for both adb (to
use the track pad) and usb hid. Curiously, the options for confugring the
mac input layer were not activated, only the "old driver" was available.
Did I miss some important previous step?

Where did you get the kernel source from? Alan's 2.2.18pre doesn't have
the input layer code AFAIK, but both the BenH and Paul sources do.
