PS/2 mouse support, and serial port are supported as modules, so you
should enable them when installing, or adding them manually in
/etc/modules afterwards.
Anyway, to compile with make-kpkg, you need to use the kernel-package
of slink, you may also need to apply patches which are in the
bug-tracking system, if no updates have been made recently.
Finally menuconfig has some bugs on Alpha, be sure do use only make config.
