If you are running the stock (installation) kernel, you may need to
rebuild the kernel with ps2 support (I don't remember exactly which
kernels did, or didn't, have that support built in). So, if setting things
up, as outlined above, doesn't work, try customizing your kernel to
include ps2 support.
