On my experimental box (sid+experimental, latest kernel etc.) I had the ps/2 mouse working fine with 2.6.0, but on upgrading to 2.6.2 it complained about not finding /dev/psaux (though it shows up as a character device if I ls -l it). So far the only fix I've found was to switch to using the mouse in the USB port. So if you don't have a USB mouse you might try what happens with 2.6.0 (IIRC backports.org has that as well as 2.6.2).
