I didn't compile it as a module.  I compiled support for auto loading
of modules, but didn't compile anything as modules.

No.

I'm afraid that my question about wild interrupt detection was probably
misleading.  COM1 and COM2 were disabled for some reason, and when I
enabled them the warning about wild interrupt:5 disappeared.  Or, if
I left them disabled and removed the modem (COM 4 IRQ 3) the message also
disappeared.  This doesn't make sense to me, but it probably means
simply that there's an unknown device using IRQ 5 and this was detected
during initialization of the serial ports.

For what it's worth, here's a snip from /usr/src/linux/.config

CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_ATIXL_BUSMOUSE=y
# CONFIG_BUSMOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_MS_BUSMOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_PSMOUSE is not set
