Looks like your kernel is missing USB support, or just USB HID (aka
USB-mouse / -keyboard) support.
Check the following settings in make menuconfig:
[USB support]
[*] Support for USB
[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem
[*] UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support
[*] USB Human Interface Device (full HID)support
[Input core support]
[*] Input core support
[*] Keyboard support
[*] Mouse support
(1024) Horizontal screen resolution
(768) Vertical screen resolution
[*] Joystick support
[*] Event interface support
(for your touchpad and external PS/2 mice:)
[Mice]
[*] Mouse Support (not serial and bus mice)
[*] PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support

Check PCMCIA support and the driver of your NIC.

I personally prefer GDM, but KDM is nice,too.
