This server is a Dell PowerEdge 2950. There is no PS2 slots on this machine so I am forced to use USB for keyboard / mouse. During the install on the LiveCD for AMD64 2006.1, USB worked fine. After installing the OS and booting the kernel, I get a bunch of errors in dmesg and USB does not work. I have tried kernels linux-2.6.16-hardened-r11 and linux-2.6.17-hardened-r1 along with udev-087-r1 but neither works. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1-r2 (hardened/amd64/multilib, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.16-hardened-r11 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-hardened-r11 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 08:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/var/tmp/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache digest distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://mirrors.acm.cs.rpi.edu/gentoo/ http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.ccccom.com/" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/var/tmp/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X acl acpi apache apache2 apm bash-completion berkdb bzip2 caps crypt curl dga dio directfb dlloader doc elibc_glibc gcj gdbm gif gmp gnome gpm gtk hardened hardenedphp imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse java javascript jpeg justify kde kdeenablefinal kernel_linux ldap multilib ncurses nls nptl nsplugin opengl pam perl pic png ppds python readline skey snmp spell sse sse2 ssl tcpd tiff truetype userland_GNU vhosts video_cards_radeon xml xmlrpc xorg xv zlib" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

I upgraded to kernel 2.6.18-hardened and this resolved the issue.
