(So far I have only observed this with a USB keyboard/mouse connected...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install any 2.6.0-beta 9 or better kernel with usb as modules or in kernel for amd64 2. Enable legacy USB support in bios (to allow keyboard to work in GRUB) 3.

If you get this with development-sources, we can't do much as this upstream. Can you please report this to the kernel bugzilla at http://bugme.osdn.org or send this off to the LKML and the kernel developers?
