Hi,

Coincidentally even I hit upon this bug a couple of days ago after enabling
HPET in my BIOS. A quick check told me that IRQ 12 which the patch assigns to
the HPET device is used by the PS/2 mouse as well. This makes the mouse
inactive.

I am working on this.. I am not sure if the PS/2 code is misbehaving though..
