Have you tried this?
I have also experienced this problem a few years ago with CentOS 4.x running on HP4xxx workstations. HP documented this as happening with ps2 keyboard and usb mouse (both ps2 or both usb worked fine). The temporary fix was to switch to both usb or both ps2 and it got sorted out after kernel updates. sriram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
