Dimitry,

  I have the same problem. I have Dell Dimension 380 box, 
PS/2 mouse and keyboard.

  Kernel worked under 2.6.13.1 and 2.6.14 
  Then I upgraded to 2.6.15:
cp linux-2.6.14/.config linux-2.6.15/.config
cd linux-2.6.15
make oldconfig
... and usual kernel compilation ...

  Result: system is successfully booted, no error messages, loads X window,
... but both keyboard and mouse are dead: they do not respond.

  It was not the first time I have this famous problem. Last time it 
was different keyboard, different motherboard, different kernel. That time
your advice to use kernel parameter "i8042.noacpi=1" helped. This time this 
does not help. My BIOS setup has an only two choices: to enable USB controller
or to disable it. When I disable USB controller, then after booting keyboard
and mouse are working, but no USB devices work.

Configuration files:

http://lacerta.miz.nao.ac.jp/misc/config_2_6_15.txt  (2.6.15 which does not work)
