What kind of mouse? What kind of keyboard? What kind of connections/ports? It is easyer to get help if you describe the hardware.
The mouse is a three button Logitech Mouseman. The keyboard is VA LInux oem that appears to be standard. Yast identifies it as type PC 104. The connectors go to PS/2 ports. I neglect to mention that I have two PCs and a mac connected to a Belkin OmniCube for common use of keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The monitor is a NECMultiSync FP950. Both PCs have been running RedHat without any problem.
If you haven't got anything on a USB port then you shouldn't have to worry about some messages on it during bootup.
I would think so too. But it seems very strange that enabling the USB IRQ lets me get a lot further without a freeze of kb and mouse. I veriied this again yesterday. Thanks for your response .....Jack
