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.
