One idea. A serial mouse does not require any of the modules you name above. You just need "generic serial support", I believe. Your mouse is probably on /dev/ttyS0. If you install gpm for the console mode, or if you configure X, just select the options for a MS serial mouse. A standard Debian kernel like the one on the rescue disk will support a serial mouse. Note that /dev/ttyS0 is the proper name for COM1 and /dev/ttyS1 is COM2. Most vendors/people who build PC's put the serial mouse on COM1 which is /dev/ttyS0. Once you know where the mouse is, you can always create a symbolic link to /dev/mouse. Hope this helps.
