Description of problem: If to plug out the PS2 mouse or keyboard and then reinsert it then the usual effect is the lockup of this device and if You are very "lucky" then both devices are in lockup state until You reboot the box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All versions. I recall kernel 2.2 series as having this issue. 2.4 and 2.6 has the same issue as well. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up the FC and unplug the PS2 keyboard/mouse or both; 2. Reinsert these; Actual results: Usually the keyboard/mouse is in lockup state where no pressing or moving will have no effect. Expected results: No issues. Additional info: If the first time does not bring up this issue then unplug/reinsert these devices again.
