Subject: Mouse Configurator problem (PB2000)

Hi again,
I'm running YDL on a PB2000 500 MHz and have problem with the mouse
configurator in the installer or the setup command.
The Kernel is able to find the mouse (trackpad or USB Unimouse) as
reported in the boot.log or "messages". The problem seems to come from
the installer (I saw in the YDL Installer Guide that the Mouse Config
error is sometime due to insufficient disk space, but "df" reports more
than 8GB of free space!). When I run "setup" and try the Mouse
Configuration it produces a core dump and I have to type "exit" to
logout, then I can login again (that's the cleanest way I have
found...).
Did this error occur on other type of computer?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To follow up with a previous message that I have posted:

The /mac partition are now mounted, so I updated the links System.map
and vmlinux in /boot and the /lib/modules/2.2.15pre14.
The booting process is clean except that there's some "depmod" (modules
dependencies??) errors:
depmod: can't handle sections of type 1245184
depmod: error reading ELF header: No such file or directory
depmod: can't handle sections of type 76321
depmod: not an ELF file
Lines like these are repeated 7 or 8 times.
Can I get rid of these?
Thanks
Simon
