[1.] One line summary of the problem:
psaux driver does not load on 2.2.0pre6

2.] Full description of the problem/report:
The ps/2 mouse driver does not load. It fails with
modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-1
I have alias char-major-10-1 psaux in /etc/conf.modules.
I also tried alias char-major-10-1 off and
#alias char-major-10-1 psaux. Same results.
I thought that psaux was merged into the keyboard driver and this message
makes no sense (psaux is no longer a module)
I even changed the #undef INITIALIZE_MOUSE in /drivers/char/pc_keyb.h
to #define INITIALIZE_MOUSE, no effect.
I read the bit on modules in Changes, and found this line in my init
script:
test -e /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe && || exit 0
