Stefan, thanks for your quick reply. I've tried booting the new kernel twice, without the .noloop=1 argument, but the touchpad didn't come to life. This isn't what you expected, I guess, so if you want to investigate further, I can supply logs, configfiles, and whatnot. I'm very happy as it is, though (adding the bootparameter is a quick fix and I don't have to do it often), so if your attention is needed elsewhere then please do so.
