Debian based distributions are different in this respect as they use
other scripts to load modules. On CentOS you define module options in
/etc/modprobe.conf. There is no module pre-loader mechanism like in
Debian, other than /etc/rc.sysinit (which you normally should avoid to
edit).
Editing the modprobe.conf on CentOS for psmouse options will not work,
because:

$ grep -ni mouse /boot/config-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL
[...]
1412:CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y

PS/2 mouse support is fixed in the kernel. So parameters must be passed
as kernel boot parameters.
