Upgrade to potato; now "/dev/psaux: No such device"

[Mark Phillips <mark@ist.flinders.edu.au>]

I've just upgraded a machine to potato.  All was fine till I tried
rebooting, then X crashed, complaining that it couldn't find the mouse.  I
noticed gpm wasn't running.  When I tried running it, it complained about
/dev/psaux device not existing.  Now the file /dev/psaux exists.  Now
there are also messages from modprob complaining that it can't find
net-pf-10 and char-major-14.

What I am wondering is whether somehow my modules stuff is no longer set
up correctly, but I'm really not sure whether that is the case.  I tried
moving /etc/modules.conf to /etc/modules.conf.old and then do
"update-modules" to create a new file.  This doesn't seem to improve
things.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mark.
