You may check, whether `modprobe psmouse' helps. To be honest,
my mouse didn't work anymore, when upgrading to 2.6.x either, and this
approach got her running ;-)
But just in case this doesn't work for you, try `modinfo -p psmouse'
and fiddle with the options shown. If you didn't build psmouse as a
module, you should try that.
If this doesn't help, try to built the psmouse driver into the
kernel (from my experience this was necessary with former Kernel
generations).
