7.2 on KT7a 1.3 MoBo, Duron, and Intellimouse Explorer USB

Okay, I got everything installed and am dual booting with XP Pro using that new (to me anyway) Grub boot loader.  When I boot into Red Hat, I get a kernel panic.  It usually happens after loading the USB, but it's been known to happen any time in the boot sequence.  Everything is running fine under XP, so I assume it's not a hardware issue.   Here's what I've tried so far: Disabling USB in the BIOS gets me to the shell, but of course X won't load. Enabling USB in the BIOS, but removing the mouse which is the only USB device attached to the system doesn't work. Disabling the PnP OS Installed option in the BIOS doesn't work. Disabling the enhanced CPU performance in the BIOS doesn't work.   Thanks in advance for any suggestions.   -Lucas
