The confusing thing is that you need to make a symlink from "/dev/mouse"
to "/dev/input/mice".
My symlink still is set to the below. So what you did with changing
"/dev/psaux" to "/dev/mouse" was to in short, change the reference from
pointing to the actual device driver "/dev/psaux" into pointing to the
symlink for "/dev/psaux"
ls -la /dev/mouse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jan 12 18:08 /dev/mouse -> psaux
Basically, you went from the device to a symlink pointing to the same
device. Of course, this will crash the same way.

Try changing the first of the two headings to point to "/dev/input/mice"
also. Either that, or edit the symlink for "/dev/mouse" to point to
"/dev/input/mice"

I just checked out my scanner and it does not work either. It worked
during tests for the 2.4 kernel and Fedora 1. I rarely use it, but it is
not detected now. I have a "Scanjet 2100C" flatbed scanner that "just
worked", without any configuration, in FC1 with the 2.4 kernel.
