Thanks, I downloaded the 9pi file (~2MB, MD5 - 4e4e18980d8ac91b0e8ed5aa820dc429) from contrib/bakul directory. I could boot the R-Pi with this kernel and get the kb and mouse working fine! Thanks a lot to everyone! One of the mice I had (a very cheap, small mouse) didn't work though. Nevertheless, I am very happy that it is all working now and have something to play with. A big thanks again. -- Ramakrishnan
