I have reinstalled gentoo 2005.1 (network install with stag= e1). The
system is currently using devfs and my mouse problem is still t= here,
exactly the same way as before. So, my theory about udev being the
culprit is out the window.

I have tried booting from the livecd.= I wasn't able to run X with this
configuration, but I tried issuing the= "cat /dev/input/mice"
command. With the livecd, there is data= coming back when I turn the
mouse wheel. When I boot into the gentoo that is installed on the
ha= rddisk and do the same thing, no data comes back when I turn the
mouse w= heel.

As a result, I am almost certain that this is related to the k= ernel
configuration. Continuing the search...

Are you using the Event interface? 
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=3Dm
I get this problem occasionally, mostly with my mouse, when I use my KVM to switch to my docked linux laptop, and the solution is always to modprobe -r evdev && modprobe evdev.  It rarely affects my keyboard, so I can usually do this.  In the rare event of a keyboard problem, I can just ssh in to do it.

I haven't figured out precisely what the problem is, however I've definitely narrowed it down to the above configuration.  If you are using EVDEV, it may be possible to configure your kernel/get a working system without it.  If you aren't using EVDEV, give it a try.  As a module, at least you can unload/reload it and save yourself a reboot until you figure out what's really going on.
