Would you tell exactly which model of mice you are trying to use on
the PS/2 mouse port?

Please give the -v option at the "boot:" prompt when you start your
box, run the `dmesg' command after the system is up and running, and
send me its output.  The psm driver prints some diagnostic messages
when it probes the mouse.

Make sure you DO NOT unplug or plug the PS/2 mouse while the system is
running.  The PS/2 mouse must be present when the kernel is being
loaded and must stay there until the system is shut down.  The PS/2
mouse interface and the psm driver do not support "hot
plugging/unplugging".
