PS/2 mouse in 2.5.45

[steve roemen]

hey all,

not a big bug, but still a bug.  the mouse in 2.4.45 will freak out, and
start jumping all over the screen.

my system is a dual athlon 1800+ (tyan s2466n-4m)  the mouse is an M$
Intellimouse explorer.  I'm using the usb to PS/2 adapter.

is there a fix for this problem?

I rebooted with the noapic flag. and now I see this when the mouse freaks
out:
