What sort of mouse do you have. No-one can help unless thats known. Your
post suggests a serial mouse. Also consider what "features" you have enabled
in the kernel and wether they match your set-up. If you enabled ps/2 mouse
and did not have it enabled before, kodzu probably detected the ps/2 mouse
PORT, and not a ps/2 mouse itself.
