I ran into this when installing RH6.0, and the quick and dirty solution
was to "Alt+F2" (or was it "Alt+F3") to the command prompt (bash, I
think) and then "ps auxw | grep mouse" and "kill -9" the "mousecfg" (or
something close) process. The install was flawless _after_ this, and the
mouse was properly configured when rebooted (for X). No, this wasn't in
the installation guide. ;-)
I wouldn't discourage you from installing Debian on these boxes, but if
Red Hat is required for some reason, I thought this might help. Good
luck,
Troy
