I did as you said, and opened /var/log/messages in Advanced editor so I could search.
Searching for USB, there is nothing in the file. Does this mean my system no longer sees the USB ports? How can I check this?
Go right to the heart of the matter with "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices". Here is mine... T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 93/900 us (10%), #Int= 1, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=bce0 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

MxPS= 4 Ivl= 10ms Each T line shows either a hub or device. Scanning it, you can see that I only have one device connected right now, a Logitech USB Optical Mouse (a damn fine mouse I might add). If you want to decode the whole thing and have the kernel source installed, look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt.
