I already had such error on a friend's computer! You probably need to
recompile your kernel(I did it on 2.0.36):
Characters devices
[*] Mouse support (not serial mice)
<*> Microsoft busmouse support (if it's the case)
<*> PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support
It should already works!

If you have your spanish map file you probably need to copy it into:
/etc/kbd/
you could copy it to default.map.gz or edit /etc/init.d/keymaps.sh and
change code to accept your spanish file map.
Hope that help.
