I had the same problem. I'm not a Debian, nor an hppa expert, but here is what 
worked for me:

After a standard installation of Woody 3.0, I did upgraded the kernel using
a debian package ("kernel-image-2.4.19-32_22.2_hppa.deb), from a debian mirror
(found in the directory "pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.19-hppa").

I downloaded it, then I installed it using the 'dpkg' command. I remember that 
the first time I tried, there was a dependency problem and I had to add another 
package from the CD (don't remember which one).

After a reboot, the system started and I had a working mouse with 'gpm' and 'X',
using the configuration tips found in the links you mentioned.
