Thanks

I configured it at baseline with make menuconfig. I got the mouse working
but I had to turn on the uhci-hcb module by hand. Then it worked. I'm guessing
I'm going to need to put that also in the sysconf. This will blow up my
ability to rapidly switch kernels, but if it works it will be worth it.

Now if I could get the 5:1 sound to work on this audigy se card.

I'm sure there will be further shake outs as well.

Thank you for taking all this time out to help me.
