If you are using 2.1.X, try adding the following line to your kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel: options "PSM_NO_RESET" This may or may not work. If it doesn't, contact me, I will send you a patch to force the psm driver to detect the mouse. If you are using 2.2 or -current, add the following lines to the configuration file: options "PSM_DEBUG=2" options "KBDIO_DEBUG=2" These options will generate lots of debug messages which will tell us why your PS/2 mouse is not recognized.
