* Do you get ANY errors/warnings when building the psmouse.ko dlkm?

No errors or warnings.  The build works fine.

* What does "modprobe -v" report? It should be something like
"/lib/modules/3.2.0-30-generic/updates/dkms/psmouse.ko"

When I do the "modprobe  -v psmouse" the crash happens.  It happens 
immediately, and if there is any response from the modprobe command I can't see 
it.  I tried sending it to a file with 1> and 2> to get stdout and errout, but 
no files were created.
.
* What OS and ver are your running?

I am on Ubuntu 12.10 beta 64 bit.  Here is the result of a uname-a: 
Linux rbmlaptop 3.5.0-14-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 14 20:21:51 UTC 2012 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

* Can you boot up into an Vista/Win7 or run a powerup diagnostic to
confirm it's not a hardware issue?

I don't have either installed--I am several years past the "I might need
Windows for something" phase of switching to Linux so I just get rid of
it--but I will try to find some diagnostics to run and report back if I
can.

* Eyeball the crash stack trace and look for any paths through a
psmouse* or alps* function call. Each will have a hex offset. Email me
what you see.

The stack trace is the same as the images posted above in #174.  I will
take some photos and get you some offsets next time I try  this.

I may also try to install it on an earlier kernel and see if that makes
a difference.  Given midhat's similar experience, I think it might be
related to the newer kernel and not hardware.
