you are probably lacking usb support in the new kernel.  I would suggest
plugging in an old ps2 mouse to see if it will boot x.  If it does boot,
then look at adding usb to the kernel ( burried inside of 'make menuconfig' or
'make xconfig', but of course the latter will not work if you don't have X
running.)
