OK,  For everyone who has been helping with my first kernel compile I have 
another question.  

Here is the deal,

I have succesfully compiled my kernel.  Everything works great, Except one 
problem.  My USB mouse will not work.  I can cat the /proc/devices file 
and it shows a line: 180 usb
I can cd to /proc/bus/usb and everything seams to be the same as with my 
old kernel. I can run /sbin/lsmod and it shows all the usb and HID modules 
loaded.

When I boot I get no error messages or anything.
The only probelm is when I startx the mouse will not move.

The only thing I can think of are these two files in my /boot directory 
for my old kernel.
they are:  module-info-KERNEL_VERSION, and config-KERNEL_VERSION.
I don't know what these are, and are they important?

If you guys have any ideas let me know.

Thanks,
