Some laptops require the mouse to be connected on boot time, in order to
disable the internal pad. I also had problems with a DELL, where the
external mouse wouldn't work any more after a suspend. So you should boot
with a mouse and try then.
BTW, have you checked if PS2 mouse support is enabled in your kernel and if
/dev/mouse is a pointer to /dev/psaux?
