Without more information, I can only make some possible guesses as to
what is wrong:
1) (most likely) By default, Linux is configured to see the Microsoft bus
mouse on interrupt 5. However, the bus mouse card is switchable to
different interrupts. To change this, you need to change the kernel
sources and rebuild: look in linux/include/linux/busmouse.h. Note:
you may have to specify interrupt 2 as interrupt 9; the actuall
interrupt 2 is used to cascade the second interrupt controller.
2) Make sure you have the right device name, and that the device has
the apropriate major/minor values. See the latest device list for the
most current information.
