install

Using cooker from a Dec 12 image, the install would not detect my PS/2
mouse. I aborted the install after a few screens; I did try to continue with
a "non-mouse" install but I did notice:
alas i don't know what the problem is. please test the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
SNIP
print !hasMousePS2() "not ", "detected", "\n";
This returns "detected", but the cursor is frozen on the screen.
I updated packages from the mirror and re-ran genhdlist and gendepslist as you
suggested and burned a new CD-RW.
I tried both a hard disk install and a CD install and both instances an into the same
trouble with the mouse. It seems to detect it, but the cursor is frozen (it did work
that _one_ time before. I get the same error message ("shmget failed ... line 752) as
before. I looked at the log the time that it did work and did not see that particular
message.
I just ran it as an upgrade rather than an install - it did make a boot disk this time.
Any suggestions before I do an install rather than an update to see what happens?
