Random thoughts...

* STFW (You've probably already done this, but it's always worth
  mentioning, and always a good start with error messages)

* Edit kernel, comment out or remove offending line from psmouse.

* Disable logfile rotation, symlink relevant log to /dev/null.

* Try a kernel upgrade, or a different mouse driver. If things are still
  broken, email the maintainer of the TouchPad driver, or the linux-
  kernel mailing list.
