kernel 2.6.22.18 update breaks my usb mouse

I just installed the latest kernel update (kernel-server-2.6.22.18-1mdv-1-1mdv2008.0) from Mandriva Update and my USB mouse promptly stopped working. Just to make sure it wasn't an X configuration problem, I tried viewing the output from /dev/mouse and there was nothing. It's definitely a kernel problem, because when I rebooted with the old kernel the mouse worked fine again. I'm going to stick with the old kernel for now, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

 

Hardware:

Asus A8N-E (NVidia-chipset Socket 939 board)

Athlon64 3800 X2

4GB PC3200 RAM

Twin 74GB WD Raptor 10k SATA drives

 

Software:

Mandriva 2008.0 for x86_64

 

The mouse is an ordinary USB wheel mouse (actually, it's a Dell, cannibalized from an old Dell machine we no longer use).
