The scenario isn't entirely clear: you seem to be saying that you have loaded
a new kernel (=Linux) and that this has stopped your trackball working, though
it was working before under Linux.
My first thought was that you didn't include PS/2 support when you built the
kernel, but the fact that you plugged a different mouse in and it worked
seems to contradict that.
Have you confirmed that the trackball itself is not faulty?
Please tell us what the trackball interface is (PS/2, serial, etc.) and
whether it has worked before under Linux or not.
