From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041215 Firefox/1.0 Red Hat/1.0-12.EL4 Description of problem: USB keyboards on Dell GX280 machines will randomly and frequently (i.e. once every 4-5 hours of continuous use) stop working. Disconnecting and connecting the keyboard on a difference USB port generally fixes the problem. Note that the USB keyboard relies on USB modules, as there is no PS/2 emulation on the GX280 (or PS/2 emulation doesn't kick in automaticaly). After verification, no corresponding setting were found in the BIOS to emulate a PS/2 keyboard. The problem occurs in all runlevels, and seems to indicate a limitation in the ehci-hcd or uhci-hcd drivers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-5.EL How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system normaly using a USB keyboard on a Dell GX280. 2. After a while, the keyboard will stop responding. Additional info: This is different from bug 165942 filled earlier.
Anything in the dmesg (please capture it with a login over network)?
