reconfigure and compile) but the kernel didn't detect psm0 at 
boot time, it said:
psm0: not found at 0x60
At the other computer I have (HP Vectra) it said:
psm0: at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard

The Window 95 detect my PS/2 mouse port correctly at Triton

I don't know how the PS/2 mouse port is working, maybe I need to
read books about that to figure out what is the problem :(
I hope somebody can help:)
