My system locked up when removing psmouse as well.. and apparently
corrupted the modules table and (somehow) the nvidia module. I'm assuming
that dkms rebuilt the nvidia module along with the psmouse module, and the
data hadn't been committed to disk (er, ssd) yet.
I ended up having to purge the dkms psmouse package, wipe out the modules,
run a 'depmod -a', re-install the package and let it build, and then
reboot without trying to remove psmouse.. after that, the new driver
worked fine.
