Alright maybe someone just answered but I did not find....

I've downloaded the 2.6.0 source from www.kernel.org. configured and
compiled. looked ok, but...

1) the mouse wheel refuses to work
2) The IDE CDRW does not CDRW. (I tried with the scsi emulation too, but
no way)
3) The nvidia driver does not compile (Where's the modversion.h file??)

I patched it up to 2.6.1 .... no better.

Why? do I have to cry? :-(

BTW the cdrw refuses to work with the 2.4.24 even with the scuzzy
emulation...

Glad to hear =)

Well, if you have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD set to `y` in kernel's .config,
you should be able to burn CDs without any need for scsi emulation. What
does `cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -scanbus` return?

Nvidia drivers do not have official support for 2.6.x kernels. Grab a
patch from http://www.minion.de/

Well, it's not worse though =)

You don't =)

fyi: I'm using 2.4.24 on debian (source from kernel.org) and my cdrw
works using hdb=scsi

there is the magic line in the lilo.conf. but no effect (the 2.6.1
reconizes it, the 2.4.24 don't).

And you have altered the /etc/fstab entry to reflect the change of this
device to scsi ( /dev/cdrom --> /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0 )

I presume you mean the nvidia video driver? There is a patch for 2.6
floating around somewhere, I forget where though. Try Google.

I upgraded to 2.6.0 the other day using a .config transfer from my old
kernel.

My mousewheel would not work.

The reason was that in the USB settings after the
<M> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
? ?[*] HID input layer support
? ?[ ] Force feedback support (EXPERIMENTAL)
? ?[ ] /dev/hiddev raw HID device support
? ? USB HID Boot Protocol drivers --->

See that final line go in there and make sure that both are unchecked.

?????????????????? USB HIDBP Mouse (simple Boot) support
? CONFIG_USB_MOUSE:

? Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
? to use the generic HID driver for your USB mouse and prefer
? to use the mouse in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.

? This is almost certainly not what you want. This is mostly
? useful for embedded applications or simple mice.

? To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
? module will be called usbmouse.

? If even remotely unsure, say N.

There were other things I did but I think that was my main problem.

This is assuming that you use a USB mouse.

Here are Nvidia drivers. No patching just run and install.

Clearly you've missed the respective options in the kernel.
