Hi Mattia, hi all, it actually _is_ a bios problem. If I deactivate "USB BIOS Support" (no "USB legacy support" in my BIOS as mentioned in the tread) I can leave the mouse plugged in during boot. But then I cannot use the mouse in the BIOS. The problem was that the BIOS "help" only said sth about deactivating boot from USB diskette/CDROM. My configuration for the archive: - Disable "USB BIOS Support" - psmouse compiled in the kernel (2.6.4) - uhci/ehci compiled as module - no hotplug (as it is started after init it should not matter if it runs - at that point psmouse knows about the touchpad) Thanks to all for helping!
