Hi, me again...

Yesterday I upgraded my linux kernel from linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
(2.6.18.dfsg.1-10) to linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-11).
What was weird already when I upgraded was a notification I received
from apt telling me that I was trying to upgrade an already installed
version in linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 and that I would need to restart
immediately after the installation was complete.

Like a diligent student I did exactly this and once I logged into
Gnome I noticed that my USB mouse no longer functioned correctly. My
system picks up the USB mouse but I get a huge lag when trying to move
it across the screen.

The other strange thing is that if I unplug the USB mouse and insert
it into another USB port Gnome doesn't even pickup that I've added my
mouse to the new USB port. Even with a very basic installation I have
always been able to swap my mouse between USB ports and having it
mount and work but now this function is gone.

Could you still boot into your old kernel? Or is that not a viable option.

I'm no expert on kernels and recompiling, but normally when you compile a new one the old one is still in your system until you uninstall it. I'm not sure if this works the same for upgrading your kernel through apt, though.
