Fedora Core 3 on Compaq Presario 700

Fedora Core 3 works fine on Compaq Presario 700. The processor cooling is OK, ACPI works out of the box. The only thing that have to be corrected is the problem with PS/2 mouse. TouchPad works fine but PS/2 mouse does not work. To make PS/2 muse working you have to pass an extra parameter to the kernel. The parameter is 'psmouse.proto=imps'. The easiest way to make it works is to add this parameter permanently in /boot/grub/grub.conf
The example line in /boot/grub/grub.conf should look like:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet psmouse.proto=imps
