I am adding a "me too" here. Interesting is, that I see same behaviour on two Gigabyte boards, a GA-MA790X-DS4 and another one (model number I do not have right here ATM, need to check, Intel-based board though). No problems on my Thinkpad X60s though. > > > > The problem worsened now. I cannot get my USB mouse working until I > reattach it physically. This is not a problem on other OSes, it seems. Also here a me too. Reattaching always works, on the intel-based board I've been running an openSUSE 10.3 w/o problems. > > > During device detection and initialization of uhci/ehci my USB-mouse > is switched off and does not get power anymore. The usb port of the GA-MA790X-DS4 actually get powered off if USB mouse is plugged-in during boot. This also causes a time-out which sucks a little.
