Hi,
hope that helps you... ;) don't be shy, mail back if you have questions ...
first i have tried to mail to Alessandro Rubini (rubini@ipvvis.unipv.it) (MAINTAINER for MOUSE AND MISC DEVICES [GENERAL]) but the mail returns with "unroutable address"... :(
So, there is no other way for me to get in contact with you....
[1.] One line summary of the problem: wrong default setting for "PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support" in .config with menuconfig
[2.] Full description of the problem/report: after "make-kpkg --config=menuconfig --revision=worktux2.4.22 kernel_image" the option "PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support" under "Character devices // Mice" is marked as [*]. per default there is no .config provided. the problem is that "CONFIG_PSMOUSE" is a "yes, no"-option and per default the menuconfig set to "m", what means module. The Option cannot be "m", so /dev/psaux won't work after compile:
$ cat /dev/psaux no such device
if you reset the option "PS/2 mouse...." the .config will be saved in the right format (CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y)
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): character devices, mice, /dev/psaux
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): worktux:/usr/src/linux-2.4.22# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.22 (root@worktux) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Wed Sep 17 13:27:41 CEST 2003
[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt) no oops message
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the problem (if possible) $ cat /dev/psaux -> No such device

[7.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi) no scsi components
[7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem (please look in /proc and include all information that you think to be relevant): i think the above informations are more then enough.... ;) (for this default setting problem absolutly overkill...)
[8.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds: workaround 1: unset and set the "PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support" - Option in "Character devices // Mice"
workaround 2: change the option "CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m" to "CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y" in .config...
information: the kernel that runs during writing the mail was a "fixed" kernel (CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y), should not be interesting for this problem!
