	Hi,

I recently upgraded my system from 2.2.5-STABLE to 3.0-CURRENT -- did a
complete harddrive flush (not really my choice) and reinstalled
everything. Ever since I upgraded to -CURRENT, my PS/2 mouse has been
giving me an immense amount of trouble. Basically, I don't usually run
moused, and the first time I entered X and tried to move my mouse my
harddrive made a bad crunching noise for a few seconds, and my mouse
didn't move -- after awhile, I got a kernel error.

I've CVSUP'd my sources, and I have the latest kernel as of about 3 this
afternoon. I've had the problem with all the builds, and have no clue
what's going on. I tried running moused to see if that would help
anything, but it just crunched my harddrive when I moved the mouse and
somehow (???) screwed up /proc so that I get a '/proc size mismatch' when
I try to use a program that accesses it. I've tried all the easy solutions
I can think of, and I'm wondering if this is a bug I haven't heard about
in the kernel, or if it's just a new config issue I have to deal with.

Thanks for your time,

Andrew
