I've encountered the problem too; basically it's due to the different ways in which the 2.2.x kernels detect the mouse vs the 2.0.x kernels.
To work around the problem, apply this patch for now:

static int __init psaux_init(void) { - if (!detect_auxiliary_port()) + if (1 || !detect_auxiliary_port()) return -EIO;
misc_register(&psaux_mouse); (credits to Alan Cox, my own version of the workaround is a bit more convoluted)
I should get off my lazy bum and look more active into a 'real' fix or providing a boot-time option for it!
