Just did a dnf update which (among other things) got
the new kernel 5.8.12-200.fc32.x86_64.

Rebooted after installing everything (and letting
akmods finish building and installing).

Got a totally black screen with a mouse cursor in the
middle that wouldn't move. After staring at it for a bit,
I started trying to login via ssh from my phone, but
about half way through typing my password, the black
screen suddenly showed the sddm login screen.

However, neither the keyboard or mouse were functioning.
I unplugged the wireless dongles for both of them and
plugged them back in, and now the mouse works, but the
keyboard still doesn't work.

I used the mouse and the onscreen button to completely
shutdown the system, gave it a few seconds to cool off,
then hit the power button to boot again, and everything
worked perfectly fine on the power up boot.

What was that? Can a reboot leave USB in some weird state
that the new kernel doesn't recognize and only a complete
power cycle works? What was it doing during the five minutes
or so it was showing a blank screen on the first boot (was
graphics also in a weird state from the old to new kernel
transition?)

Hopefully it will remain happy now.
