Since your mouse and keyboard work fine in 11.3 the problem is obviously in 12.1. BlueDevil is the bluetooth interface for an external device and if it hasn't been initialized by the time you reach login it can't see those devices.
If failure to first initialize is indeed the problem, changing PARALLEL_BOOT from yes to no in /etc/sysconfig/boot will likely be a successful workaround that won't necessitate using the PS/2 keyboard.
Were you using this same mouse/keyboard when you installed 11.3? I suspect that it was changed after that install?
You might try attaching a PS2 mouse/keyboard and make sure BlueDevil service is started (Start> Configure Desktop> Startup& Shutdown> Service Manager - make sure BlueDevil is checked). Let us know if that solves the problem.
Another thing to try is using chroot to 12.1 from a 11.3 boot to install sysvinit-init. Thanks Felix (and everyone) for your thoughts.. I have managed to find a PS2 keyboard, and a USB mouse and can use them to input text and manipulate the cursor. However, still no joy in getting the wireless keyboard and mouse working. It appears as if the BlueDevil manager recognizes both the keyboard and mouse, but only in acknowledging that they are Bluetooth devices. It seems as if, after a few seconds that the manager forgets about them, and the recognition only occurs when the keyboard or mouse is "activated" by either a key press or a mouse movement. Though not entirely, for the mouse I keep getting a popup asking is I want to authorize the mouse or not, every few seconds. I click on the button to authorize it, but that does not do much, except to change the associated icon in

I tried to uninstall the BlueDevil packages, but that seemed to make matters worse... SO I reinstalled them back in...
As an FYI, the keyboard is a Logitech MX5000 and the mouse is a Logitech MX1000 Both of these connect to the computer via a Bluetooth USB dongle.
You are certain that it is Bluetooth and not simply a wireless keyboard and mouse? I am wondering about the MX5000 (or should this be MX5500?) and the different number of MX1000 for the mouse.
If it is Bluetooth, my wife uses Bluetooth headphones for the digital TV and she has to reconnect to the Bluetooth in the TV everytime she wants to use the headphones.
There is some FAQs etc on the 'net so why not do a search or go directly to http://www.logitech.com/bluetooth .

Thanks Basil for your thoughts/reply. I have been doing a LOT of digging on the internet for a solution to this problem, no joy, so went ahead and reported the bug to KDE. I then did some more subsequent Googling around and finally got a hit (helps to use the right terms!) showing that this bug has already been reported to Novell. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722763
Hopefully this will get resolved quickly, as I cannot upgrade my media center until it is....
Marc...
