I have had no luck with ps/2 mouse on an Asus P5A-B mobo with newer
kernel versions, I have tried 2.4.12 and 2.4.13 with no luck. It works
fine with 2.2.19, though.
With 2.4.12 & 13 I get "Detected PS/2 Mouse Port." in dmesg only when
the mouse is not plugged in. Plug it in, no message of ps/2.
If anyone has any suggestions I would love to be able to use 2.4 kernel,
hopefully it is something stupid I have missed.

Are you sure the mouse is not working? I also
have a P5A-B, PS/2 mouse and 2.4 kernel (many
versions). I also get no dmesg about PS/2. But
the mouse works fine! Did you tell X windows
that you are using a PS/2 mouse?
In XF86Config (xfree86 version 4):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Default Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/misc/psaux" # something else for you?
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
EndSection
I hope this helps,
Duncan.

Yes, definitely sure that X is configured correctly (it works fine when
I boot with 2.2.19) I have also tried gpm, which works fine under 2.2,
and under 2.4.8 tells me there is no such device or address, and under
2.4.13 and 2.4.13-ac7 locks my keyboard and doesn't work.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.
