Could it be that your /dev directory is ruined? ls should never have given
you "Input/output error", even on a bad device file, because it doesn't
try to read the file or open it...
Try
mknod /tmp/mouse c 10 1
cat /tmp/mouse
and see if this mouse device works. If it does, fsck your disk to try
to find any disk errors, and then remove /dev/mouse and recreate with
the above mknod command (you can make /dev/psaux root-owned with permissions
rw-------).
