Did you reformat your partitions during the install? Did you reinstall
LILO during the Debian install?
If so, I'm not sure about the lilo problem. I'd try reinstalling it, and
reading the docs about why it might not work.
As for your mouse, I'd use XF86Setup. Use the keyboard to get into the
mouse menu. Use tab to navigate, and choose the correct device (probably
/dev/psaux for a ps/2 mouse). Then use 'P' to navigate the protocols, 'A' to
apply, until you find the right one.
What kind of mouse do you have?
