Patrick,

> is there anything interessting in /var/log/* ?
No, there's absolutely nothing interesting in both 
kern.log and sys.log.

I did ln -sf ../init.d/usb-init S45usb in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d 
so that the modules would be loaded automatically at 
startup.

My /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb-init script
#!/bin/bash
#Begin /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb-init

source /etc/sysconfig/rc
source $rc_functions

case "$1" in
       start)
                echo "Initialising USB..."
                modprobe usbcore
                modprobe usb-ohci
                evaluate_retval
                ;;
       stop)
                echo "Unloading USB..."
                rmmod usb-ohci
                rmmod usbcore
                evaluate_retval
                ;;
       restart)
                $0 stop
                sleep 1
                $0 start
                ;;
       status)
                lsmod | grep usb-ohci
                evaluate_retval
                ;;
       *)
                echo "Usage: $0 
{start|stop|restart|status}"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac
# End /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb-init

---------- Excerpt from kern.log --------------
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb-ohci.c: USB OHCI at membase 0xe08cb00, IRQ 9
usb-ohci.c: usb-00:02.0, Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] USB 
1.1 Controller
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 4 ports detected
(At this point the keyboard does not work, so I pressed 
the power button)
Kernel logging (proc) stopped
Kernel log daemon terminating
---------- end kern.log -----------------------

Exactly the above messages appear if I manually do the 
modprobe, except this time the keyboard no longer locks.

So, at this point I'm really out of ideas. Does anyone 
think posting my problem on linux-kernel would yield 
anything?
