USB keyboard (and mouse) works in Grub menu, but stops working after that.
I have a KVM which have worked perfectly under WinXP, Win2k3, Win2k, Suse 9.3
Pro and Suse 10.0 (except during reboot from 10.0).

If I power off (interrupt the reboot), then everything works perfectly!
With Suse 9.3 Pro I didn't have this problem. Although I think that Suse 10.0
doesn't reboot as "heavily" as WinXP or Suse 9.3 does.
With "heavily" I mean that rebooting from XP, the machine really halts for a
second (enough to trigger the power saving on my monitor). Rebooting from
10.0 it kind of skips the "halt" and goes to Grub much quicker than when
rebooting from XP (or Suse 9.3).
