I have not been able to get my ps/2 mouse to function with any 2.6.x or 2.4.x kernel (same ASUS MB). The problem is already so long standing that I have completely given up on it and use a serial mouse exclusively and no longer bother with ps/2. (I also hate to report that since I dual boot with MS Windows, the ps/2 mouse functions properly under the same conditions with MS Windows 2K. The hardware cannot be at fault.) > As a clarification, I have been having these keyboard problems > intermittently, regardless of whether I'm using -mm or mainline kernel. > I was NOT having this problem in 2.6.11 I wasn't having the psaux mouse > problems in 2.6.11 either ....

Actually, my keyboard problems began with kernel-2.6.11, but were quickly resolved when I used the following parameter in my lilo.conf file: i8042.nomux When I use this parameter, or any other i8042 specific parameter, with kernel-2.6.12, there is no effect. The keyboard still occasionally comes up dead. Thanks for the information on unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard. I'll give that a try soon.
