If you decide to run kernel 2.4.20 under RH8.0, you may want to apply the
following patch in /etc/rc.d:
--- rc.sysinit.orig 2002-08-22 14:10:52.000000000 -0700
+++ rc.sysinit 2002-12-05 19:46:31.000000000 -0800

The kernels released with RH8 include the files /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/input/keybdev.o and mousedev.o - kernel 2.4.20
integrates the function of these modules into the HID module so those files
aren''t present. The above patch eliminates some uncomfortable messages
that
are issued during the bootup of 2.4.20 as a result of the mentioned files
being absent.
