I'll bet that psaux isn't loaded as a module right now. Try adding psaux to your /etc/modules file for your next reboot and modprobe psaux right now. This leaps out for two reasons, psaux is not listed as a misc device in 2.4 and you have it compiled as a module. Let the list know if this solves it or you need more help. --mike
